Setting the Switch-to-Client Frame-Retransmission Number
In addition to changing the switch-to-client retransmission time, you can change the number of times
that the switch sends an EAP-request/identity frame (assuming no response is received) to the client
before restarting the authentication process.
Note
You should change the default value of this command only to adjust for unusual circumstances such
as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with certain clients and authentication servers.
Follow the steps below to set the switch-to-client frame-retransmission number.
