Parameter
quiet-period: Specify the quiet timer. 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.
quiet-period-value: Specify how long the quiet period is. The value ranges
from 10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 60.
server-timeout: Specify the timeout timer of an Authentication Server. If an
Authentication Server has not responded before the specified period expires, the
Authenticator will resend the authentication request.
server-timeout-value: Specify how long the duration of a timeout timer of an
Authentication Server is. The value ranges from 100 to 300 in units of second and
defaults to 100 seconds.
supp-timeout: Specify the authentication timeout timer of a Supplicant. If a
Supplicant has not responded before the specified period expires, Authenticator
will resend the authentication request.
supp-timeout-value: Specify how long the duration of an authentication
timeout timer of a Supplicant is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of
second and defaults to 30.
tx-period: Specify the transmission timeout timer. If a Supplicant has not
responded before the specified period expires, Authenticator will resend the
authentication request.
tx-period-value: Specify how long the duration of the transmission timeout
timer is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 30.
Description
■ Use the dot1x timer command to configure the 802.1x timers.
■ Use the undo dot1x timer command to restore the default values.
When it is run, 802.1x enables many timers to control the rational and orderly
interacting of the Supplicant, the Authenticator and the Authenticator Server. This
command can set some of the timers (while other timers cannot be set) to adapt
the interaction process. It could be necessary for some special and hard network
environment. Generally, the user should keep the default values of the timers.
