Setting the Switch-to-Client Frame-Retransmission Number

In addition to changing the switch-to-client retransmission time, you can change the number of times that the

switch sends an EAP-request/identity frame (assuming no response is received) to the client before restarting

the authentication process.

You should change the default value of this command only to adjust for unusual circumstances such as

unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with certain clients and authentication servers.

Note

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the switch-to-client frame-retransmission

number. This procedure is optional.
