Field Description
Protocol Settings These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1x standard. They determine how
long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldn’t be modified
without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about the supplicant
state machine, obtain its 802.11x protocol specification.
The parameters are:
• Authentication Timeout =The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or acquired
state without receiving a response from the AP or switch. 30 seconds is the default.
• Held Timeout =The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing authentication.
60 seconds is the default.
• Start Timeout =The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting when
there is no response. One second is the default.
• Number of Start Attempts =The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that point,
the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network connectivity because
the protocol exchange was never completed. Three is the default.
Display EAP
notifications Specifies that the EAPOL notification message will be displayed to the user. An authenticator may
use such notification to inform you, for example, about a near password expiration. However, some
authenticators send chatty and annoying notifications that may, for the convenience of the user, be
suppressed. Note that all notifications are written to the event log even if they are not displayed.
