dot1x timeout
To configure the value for retry timeouts, use the dot1x timeout command in global configuration or interface
configuration mode. To return to the default value for retry timeouts, use the no form of this command.
dot1x timeout { auth-period seconds | held-period seconds | quiet-period seconds | ratelimit-period seconds
| server-timeout seconds | start-period seconds | supp-timeout seconds | tx-period seconds }
Syntax Description
Configures the time, in seconds for which a supplicant will stay in
the HELD state (that is, the length of time it will wait before trying
to send the credentials again after a failed attempt).
The range is from 1 to 65535. The default is 30.
auth-period seconds
Configures the time, in seconds for which a supplicant will stay in
the HELD state (that is, the length of time it will wait before trying
to send the credentials again after a failed attempt).
The range is from 1 to 65535. The default is 60
held-period seconds
Configures the time, in seconds, that the authenticator (server)
remains quiet (in the HELD state) following a failed authentication
exchange before trying to reauthenticate the client.
The range is from 1 to 65535. The default is 60
quiet-period seconds
Throttles the EAP-START packets that are sent from misbehaving
client PCs (for example, PCs that send EAP-START packets that
result in the wasting of switch processing power).
• The authenticator ignores EAPOL-Start packets from clients
that have successfully authenticated for the rate-limit period
duration.
• The range is from 1 to 65535. By default, rate limiting is
disabled.
ratelimit-period seconds
Configures the interval, in seconds, between two successive
EAPOL-Start frames when they are being retransmitted.
• The range is from 1 to 65535. The default is 30.
If the server does not send a response to an 802.1X packet within
the specified period, the packet is sent again.
