The network access device retransmits an authentication request if it does not
receive a response to the request it has sent to the client within a period of time (set
by the TX Period
or the Supplicant Timeout Time
value). The network access
device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of
request transmission attempts but still received no response.
TX-Period Sets the username request timeout timer.
Handshake Period Sets the handshake timer.
Re-Authentication
Period
Sets the periodic online user re-authentication timer.

Time

You can set the client timeout timer to a high value in a low-performance network, and adjust the
server timeout timer to adapt to the performance of different authentication servers. In most cases, the
default settings are sufficient.
