Switch 7700 Configuration Guide

182 CHAPTER 9: AAA AND RADIUS OPERATION
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, the max-retry-value is 3. That is, the switch can retransmit the
authentication request frame to a supplicant for 3 times at most.
Configuring Timers
The following commands are used for configuring the 802.1x timers.
Perform the following configurations in system view.
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.
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. The value ranges from 100 to 300 in units of second.
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.
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.
