a Supplicant is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 30.

Request/Identity request packet which requests the user name or user name and
password together, the tx-period timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If the
Supplicant does not respond back with authentication reply packet successfully, then
the Authenticator will resend the authentication request packet.

value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 30.

the supplicant device launches 802.1x re-authentication.

: Period set by the re-authentication timeout timer, ranging from 1 to
86400, in seconds. By default, the value is 3600.
ver-period

the version response packet within the time set by this timer, then the authenticator
device will resend the version request packet.

in seconds. By default, the value is 1.
1.2.13 Enabling/Disabling a Quiet-Period Timer
You can use the following commands to enable/disable a quiet-period timer of an
Authenticator (which can be a Quidway Series Ethernet Switch). If an 802.1x user has
not passed the authentication, the Authenticator will keep quiet for a while (which is
specified by
dot1x timer quiet-period
command) before launching the authentication
again. During the quiet period, the Authenticator does not do anything related to 802.1x
authentication.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
