Optional 
The settings of 802.1x timers are as 
follows. 
z  handshake-period-value: 15 seconds
z  quiet-period-value: 60 seconds 
z  server-timeout-value: 100 seconds  
z  supp-timeout-value: 30 seconds 
z  tx-period-value: 30 seconds 
z  ver-period-value: 30 seconds 
Enable the quiet-period 
timer 
dot1x quiet-period 
Optional 
By default, the quiet-period timer is 
disabled. 
 
 
z  As for the dot1x max-user command, if you execute it in system view without specifying the 
interface-list argument, the command applies to all ports. You can also use this command in port 
view. In this case, this command applies to the current port only and the interface-list argument is 
not needed. 
z  As for the configuration of 802.1x timers, the default values are recommended. 
 
Advanced 802.1x Configuration 
Advanced 802.1x configurations, as listed below, are all optional. 
z  Specifying a Mandatory Authentication Domain for a Port 
z  Configuration concerning CAMS, including multiple network adapters detecting, proxy detecting, 
and so on. 
z  Client version checking configuration 
z  DHCP–triggered authentication 
z  Guest VLAN configuration 
z  802.1x re-authentication configuration 
z  Configuration of the 802.1x re-authentication timer 
You need to configure basic 802.1x functions before configuring the above 802.1x features. 
Specifying a Mandatory Authentication Domain for a Port 
By specifying a mandatory authentication domain for a port, you can implement a security control policy 
for 802.1X users. That is, the system uses the mandatory authentication domain for authentication, 
authorization, and accounting of all 802.1X users on the port, thus to prevent those users from using 
other accounts to access the network.  
Meanwhile, for EAP relay mode 802.1X authentication that uses certificates, the certificate of a user 
determines the authentication domain of the user. However, you can specify different mandatory 
authentication domains for different ports even if the user certificates are from the same certificate
