Configuring global 802.1X settings for wired users
Global 802.1X settings selecting Controller >> Authentication > 802.1X.
These settings only apply to:
Wired clients connected to the service controller via the LAN port.
Wireless clients using an access-controlled VSC with Wireless protection set to WPA
and the Terminate WPA at the controller option enabled. See Terminate WPA at the
controller on page 5-24.
These settings do not apply to clients connected to the switch port on an MSM317.
Supplicant timeout
Specify the maximum length of time that the service controller will wait for a client station to
respond to an EAPOL packet before resending it.
If client stations are configured to manually enter the 802.1X username and/or the password,
you must increase the value of the timeout to between 15 and 20 seconds.
