Specifying a mandatory authentication domain on
a port
You can place all 802.1X users in a mandatory authentication domain for authentication,
authorization, and accounting on a port. No user can use an account in any other domain to access
the network through the port. The implementation of a mandatory authentication domain enhances
the flexibility of 802.1X access control deployment.
To specify a mandatory authentication domain for a port:

Configuring the quiet timer
The quiet timer enables the network access device to wait a period of time before it can process any
authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X authentication.
You can set the quiet timer to a high value in a vulnerable network or a low value for quicker
authentication response.
