Before configuring 802.1x re-authentication feature on a port, you must enable the
feature both globally and on this port.

Syntax
dot1x retry max-retry-value
undo dot1x retry
View

Parameter
max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum times an Ethernet switch can retransmit the
authentication request frame to the supplicant, ranging from 1 to 10. By default, the
value is 2, that is, the switch can retransmit the authentication request frame to the
supplicant for 2 times.
Description
Using dot1x retry command, you can configure the maximum times an Ethernet switch
can retransmit the authentication request frame to the supplicant. Using undo dot1x
retry command, you can restore the default maximum retransmission time.
After the switch has transmitted authentication request frame to the user for the first
time, if no user response is received during the specified time-range, the switch will
re-transmit authentication request to the user. This command is used for specifying
how many times the switch can re-transmit the authentication request frame to the
supplicant. When the time is 1, the switch is configured to transmit authentication
request frame only once. 2 indicates that the switch is configured to transmit
authentication request frame once again when no response is received for the first time
and so on. This command has effect on all the port after configuration.
For the related commands, see display dot1x.
Example
# Configure the current device to transmit authentication request frame to the user for
no more than 9 times.
[Quidway] dot1x retry 9
