Configuration Guide 802.1x Configuration
Changing the QUIET Time
When the user authentication fails, the switch does not allow that user to re-authenticate until a specified period, which is
referred to as Quiet Period.This value functions to protect the device from malicious attacks. The default interval for Quiet
Period is 10 seconds. A shorter Quiet Period may speed up re-authentication for the users.
In the privileged EXEC mode, you can set the Quiet Period by performing the following steps:
dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds
Show the dot1x configurations.
You can use the no dot1x timeout quiet-period command to restore the Quiet Period to its default. In the example
below the QuietPeriod value is set as 500 seconds:
Ruijie# configure terminal
Ruijie (config)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 500
Ruijie(config)# end
Setting the Packet Retransmission Interval
After the device sends the EAP-request/identity, it resends that message if no response is received from the user within a
certain period. By default, this value is 3 seconds. You should modify this value to suit the specific network size.
In the privileged EXEC mode, you can set the packet retransmission interval by performing the following steps:
Ruijie(config)#dot1x timeout tx-period seconds
Setting the Packet Retransmission Interval
Show the dot1x configurations.
You can use the no dot1x timeout tx-period to restore the packet re-transmission interval to its default. The following
example sets the packet retransmission interval as 100 seconds:
Ruijie# configure terminal
Ruijie(config)# dot1x timeout tx-period 100
Ruijie(config)# end
Setting the Maximum Number of Requests
If the switch does not receive response within the ServerTimeout after it sends an authentication request to the
RadiusServer, it will retransmit the packets.The maximum number of requests are the maximum retransmission requests
of the device, and the authentication fails if this number is exceeded. By default, this value is 3. You should modify this
value to suit the specific network size.
In the privileged EXEC mode, you can set the maximum number of retransmissions by performing the following steps:
Ruijie(config)#dot1x max-req count
Set the maximum number of packet re-transmissions.
