Congure timeouts
If the supplicant or the authentication server is unresponsive, the authenticator terminates the authentication process after 30 seconds by
default. Congure the amount of time the authenticator waits for a response before termination.
• Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive supplicant in INTERFACE mode (1 to 65535, default 30).
