Configuring Request Identity Re-Transmissions
If the authenticator sends a Request Identity frame, but the supplicant does not respond, the
authenticator waits 30 seconds and then re-transmits the frame.
The amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting and the maximum number of
times that the authenticator re-transmits are configurable.
NOTE: There are several reasons why the supplicant might fail to respond; for example, the
supplicant might have been booting when the request arrived or there might be a physical layer
failure.
To configure re-transmissions, use the following commands.
• Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting an EAP Request
Identity frame.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x tx-period number
The range is from 1 to 65535 (1 year)
The default is 30.
• Configure a maximum number of times the authenticator re-transmits a Request Identity frame.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x max-eap-req number
The range is from 1 to 10.
The default is 2.
The example in Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed Authentication shows configuration information
for a port for which the authenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame after 90 seconds and
re-transmits a maximum of 10 times.
