Description Use this command to set the time in seconds after which a switch attempts to perform
authentication after a failed authentication. Use the no dot1x quiet-period command to return to
the default setting. When a switch cannot authenticate a client, the switch remains idle for a
quiet-period interval of time, then attempts the operation again.
Usage
Guidelines
Changing the quiet-period interval time to a number lower than the default can result in a faster
response time.
Examples To change the interval time to 200 seconds:
switch(config)#interface extengigabiethernet 0/16
switch(conf-if-te-0/16)#dot1x quiet-period 200
