Chapter 2 Cisco IOS Commands for the Catalyst 4500 Series Switches
dot1x timeout
Usage Guidelines The periodic reauthentication must be enabled before entering the dot1x timeout re-authperiod
command. Enter the dot1x re-authentication command to enable periodic reauthentication.
Examples This example shows how to set 60 as the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the request:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet4/3
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout tx-period 60
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#
You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x privileged EXEC command.
This example shows how to set up the switch to use a reauthentication timeout derived from a
Session-Timeout attribute taken from the RADIUS Access-Accept message received when a host
successfully authenticates via 802.1X:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet4/3
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout reauth-period server
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#
