Command Usage
This command sets the timeout for EAP-request frames other than EAP-request/
identity frames. If dot1x authentication is enabled on a port, the switch will initiate
authentication when the port link state comes up. It will send an EAP-request/
identity frame to the client to request its identity, followed by one or more requests
for authentication information. It may also send other EAP-request frames to the
client during an active connection as required for reauthentication.
Example
Console(config)#interface eth 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x timeout supp-timeout 300
Console(config-if)#
dot1x timeout
tx-period

reset to the default value.
