Usage
Information
When you configure the dot1x server-timeout value, take into account the communication medium
used to communicate with an authentication server and the number of RADIUS servers configured.
Ideally, the dot1x server-timeout value (in seconds) is based on the configured RADIUS-server
timeout and retransmit values and calculated according to the following formula: dot1x server-
timeout seconds > (radius-server retransmit seconds + 1) * radius-server timeout seconds.
Where the default values are as follows: dot1x server-timeout (30 seconds), radius-server
retransmit (3 seconds), and radius-server timeout (5 seconds).
Example
dot1x supplicant-timeout
Configure the amount of time after which exchanges with the supplicant time-out.
Syntax
dot1x supplicant-timeout seconds
To return to the default, use the no dot1x supplicant-timeout command.
Parameters
seconds Enter a time-out value in seconds. The range is from 1 to 300, where 300 is
implementation dependant. The default is 30.
Defaults 30 seconds
