authenticated under critical-VLAN.
To configure a critical-VLAN for users or devices when authenticating server is not reachable, use the following command.
Enable critical VLAN for users or devices

Configuring Request Identity Re-Transmissions
When the authenticator sends a Request Identity frame and the supplicant does not respond, the authenticator waits for 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 can be configured.
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 problem.
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.
