Usage Guidelines 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.
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.
reauth-period seconds Number of seconds between re-authentication attempts. The range is 1to
65535.
server-timeout seconds Number of seconds that the switch waits for the retransmission of packets
by the switch to the authentication server. The range is 1 to 65535.
However, we recommend a minimum setting of
30.
supp-timeout seconds Number of seconds that the switch waits for the retransmission of packets
by the switch to the 802.1x client. The range is 30 to 65535.
tx-period seconds Number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before resending the request.
The range is 1 to 65535.
