The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
dot1x timer { client-timeout client-timeout-value | handshake-period handshake-
period-value | quiet-period quiet-period-value | reauthenticate-period
reauthenticate-period-value | server-timeout server-timeout-value | tx-period tx-
period-value }
The values of timers used in 802.1x authentication are set.
The timers are described as follows:
l client-timeout: specifies the value of the timeout timer of a client. The default value is 30s.
l handshake-period: specifies the handshake interval between the AR1200-S and the 802.1x
client. The default value is 60s.
l quiet-period: specifies the value of the quiet timer. The default value is 60s.
l reauthenticate-period: specifies the re-authentication interval. The default value is 3600s.
l server-timeout: specifies the value of the timeout timer of the authentication server. The
default value is 30s.
l tx-period: specifies the interval for sending authentication requests. The default value is 30s.
The dot1x timer command only sets the values of the timers, and you need to enable the
corresponding timers by running commands or adopting the default settings.

5.3.11 (Optional) Configuring the Quiet Timer Function
If a user fails to be authenticated after the quiet timer function is enabled, the AR1200-S does
not process the authentication requests from the user in this period. This prevents frequent
authentication on the system.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
dot1x quiet-period
The quiet timer function is enabled.
By default, the quiet timer function is disabled.
Step 3 (Optional) Run:
dot1x timer quiet-period quiet-period-value
The value of the quiet timer is set.
After the quiet timer function is enabled, the default value of the quiet timer is 60s.
Step 4 (Optional) Run:
dot1x quiet-times fail-times
The number of authentication failures within 60 seconds before an 802.1x user enters the quiet
state is set.
