quiet-period seconds Number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state following a
failed authentication exchange with the client. The range is 1 to 65535.
ratelimit-period seconds Number of seconds that the switch ignores Extensible Authentication
Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) packets from clients that have been
successfully authenticated during this duration. The range is 1 to 65535.
