Specifying a mandatory authentication domain on
a port
You can place all 802.1X users in a mandatory authentication domain for authentication,
authorization, and accounting on a port. No user can use an account in any other domain to access
the network through the port. The implementation of a mandatory authentication domain enhances
the flexibility of 802.1X access control deployment.

By default, no mandatory 802.1X
authentication domain is
specified.
Setting the quiet timer
The quiet timer enables the access device to wait a period of time before it can process any
authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X authentication.
You can edit the quiet timer, depending on the network conditions.
•
In a vulnerable network, set the quiet timer to a high value.
•
In a high-performance network with quick authentication response, set the quiet timer to a low
value.
