Security Commands 1118
Example
The following command sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for
a response to an EAP-request/identity frame to 60 seconds. A side effect of
this setting is that a MAB device might take several minutes to be
authenticated.
console(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/16
console(config-if-Gi1/0/16)# dot1x timeout tx-period 60
The following example sets the time for the retransmission to the
authentication server to 90 seconds. A side effect of this setting is that an
authentication over an unreliable link to the authentication server might take
as long as six or seven minutes.
console(config-if-gi1/0/1)# dot1x timeout server-timeout 90
authentication timer reauthenticate
Use the authentication timer reauthenticate command in Interface
Configuration mode to set the number of seconds between reauthentication
attempts. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
