802.1X Commands
67 OL-32830-01 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
2
Default Configuration
The default quiet period is 60 seconds.
Command Mode
Interface (Ethernet) Configuration mode
User Guidelines
During the quiet period, the device does not accept or initiate authentication
requests.
The default value of this command should only be changed to adjust to unusual
circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with
certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide faster response time to the user, a smaller number than the default
value should be entered.
For 802.1x and MAC-based authentication, the number of failed logins is 1.
For WEB-based authentication, the quite period is applied after a number of failed
attempts. This number is configured by the dot1x max-login-attempts command.
For 802.1x-based and MAC-based authentication methods, the quite period is
applied after each failed attempt.
Example
The following example sets the time interval that the device remains in the quiet
state following a failed authentication exchange to 120 seconds.
switchxxxxxx(config)# interface gi1 1
switchxxxxxx(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 120
2.21 dot1x timeout reauth-period
Use the dot1x timeout reauth-period Interface Configuration mode command to
set the number of seconds between re-authentication attempts. Use the no form
of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax
dot1x timeout reauth-period
seconds
