Item Description
Quiet Set whether to enable the quiet timer.
Quiet Period Set the value of the quiet timer.
Retry Times
Set the maximum number of authentication request attempts.
The network access device retransmits an authentication request if it does not
receive a response to the request it has sent to the client within a period of time
(set by the
TX Period
or the
Supplicant Timeout Time
value). The network
access device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum
number of request transmission attempts but still received no response.
TX-Period Set the username request timeout timer.
Handshake Period Set the handshake timer.
Re-Authentication
Period
Set the periodic online user re-authentication timer.
Supplicant Timeout
Time
Set the client timeout timer.
Server Timeout
Time

NOTE:
You can set the client timeout timer to a high value in a low-performance network, and adjust
the server timeout timer to adapt to the performance of different authentication servers. In most
cases, the default settings are sufficient.
