IEEE 802.1x 213
By default, the quiet-period-value is 60 seconds, the tx-period-value is 30
seconds, the
supp-timeout-value is 30 seconds, the server-timeout-value is
100 seconds. For more detailed information on the
dot1x timer command, see
the Switch 7750 Command Reference Guide.
Enabling/Disabling Quiet-Period Timer
You can use the following commands to enable/disable a quiet-period timer of the
Switch 7750. If an 802.1x user has not passed authentication, the Authenticator
will keep quiet (specified by
quiet-period) before launching the authentication
again. During the quiet period, the Authenticator does not do anything related to
802.1x authentication.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
Displaying and Debugging 802.1x
Execute the display command in all views to display the VLAN configuration, and
to verify the configuration. Execute the
reset command in user view to reset
802.1x statistics information. Execute the
debugging command in user view to
debug the 802.1x module.
Example: 802.1x Configuration
As shown in the following figure, the workstation is connected to port 1/0/2 of
the Switch 7750.
The switch administrator will enable 802.1x on all the ports to authenticate the
supplicants in order to control their access to the Internet. The access control
mode is based on the MAC address.
