authenticated in monitor mode.

dot1x timeout quiet-period
Use the dot1x timeout quiet-period command in Interface Configuration
mode to set the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange (for example, the client provided
an invalid password). To return to the default setting, use the no form of this
command.

following a failed authentication exchange with the client. (Range: 0–

User Guidelines
During the quiet period, the switch does not accept or initiate any
authentication requests.
Change the default value of this command only to adjust for unusual
circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with
certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide a faster response time to the user, enter a smaller number than the
default.
