Configuring Authentication
To set the value for the quiet period, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to set the quiet period to 45 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set dot1x quiet-period 45
dot1x quiet-period set to 45 seconds.
Setting the Authenticator-to-Supplicant Retransmission Time for EAP-Request/Identity Frames
The supplicant notifies the authenticator that it received the EAP-request/identity frame. When the
authenticator does not receive this notification, the authenticator waits a set period of time, and then
retransmits the frame. You may set the amount of time that the authenticator waits for notification from
1 to 65535 seconds. (The default is 30 seconds.)
To set the authenticator-to-supplicant retransmission time for the EAP-request/identity frames, perform
this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to set the authenticator-to-supplicant retransmission time for the
EAP-request/identity frame to 15 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set dot1x tx-period 15
dot1x tx-period set to 15 seconds.
Setting the Back-End Authenticator-to-Supplicant Retransmission Time for EAP-Request Frames
The supplicant notifies the back-end authenticator that it received the EAP-request frame. When the
back-end authenticator does not receive this notification, the back-end authenticator waits a set period
of time, and then retransmits the frame. You may set the amount of time that the back-end authenticator
waits for notification from 1 to 65535 seconds. (The default is 30 seconds.)
To set the back-end authenticator-to-supplicant retransmission time for the EAP-request frames,
perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to set the back-end authenticator-to-supplicant retransmission time for the
EAP-request frame to 15 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set dot1x supp-timeout 15
dot1x supp-timeout set to 15 seconds.
