Switch 7700 Command reference Guide, v2.0

356 CHAPTER 9: USING AAA AND RADIUS COMMANDS
If an 802.1x user has not passed the authentication, the Authenticator will keep
quiet for a while (which is specified by quiet-period timer) before launching the
authentication again. During the quiet period, the Authenticator does not do
anything related to 802.1x authentication.
Related command: display dot1x, dot1x timer.
Example
Enable quiet-period timer.

Parameter
max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum times an Ethernet switch can
retransmit the authentication request frame to the supplicant, ranging from 1 to
10.
By default, the value is 3, that is, the switch can retransmit the authentication
request frame to the supplicant for 3 times.
Description
■ Use the dot1x retry command to configure the maximum times an Ethernet
switch can retransmit the authentication request frame to the supplicant.
■ Use the undo dot1x retry command to restore the default maximum
retransmission time.
After the switch has transmitted authentication request frame to the user for the
first time, if no user response is received during the specified time-range, the
switch will re-transmit authentication request to the user. This command is used
for specifying how many times the switch can re-transmit the authentication
request frame to the supplicant. When the time is 1, the switch is configured to
transmit authentication request frame only once. 2 indicates that the switch is
configured to transmit authentication request frame once again when no response
is received for the first time and so on. This command has effect on all the port
after configuration.
Related commands: display dot1x.
Example
Configure the current device to transmit authentication request frame to the user
for no more than 9 times.
