Configuring 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
To change the amount of time that the router waits for client notification, perform this task:
This example shows how to set 60 as the number of seconds that the router waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the request:
Router(config)#
dot1x timeout tx-period 60
Setting the Router-to-Client Retransmission Time for EAP-Request Frames
The client notifies the router that it received the EAP-request frame. If the router does not receive this
notification, the router waits a set period of time, and then retransmits the frame. You may set the amount
of time that the router waits for notification from 1 to 65535 seconds. (The default is 30 seconds.)
To set the router-to-client retransmission time for the EAP-request frames, perform this task:
This example shows how to set the router-to-client retransmission time for the EAP-request frame to
25 seconds:
Router(config-if)#
dot1x timeout supp-timeout 25

Selects an interface to configure.
Step 2
Router(config-if)#
dot1x timeout tx-period
seconds
Sets the number of seconds that the router waits for a
response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client
before retransmitting the request.
The range is 1 to 65535 seconds; the default is 30.
Router(config-if)#
dot1x timeout tx-period
Returns to the default retransmission time.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
