IEEE 802.1x 271
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 is, 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.
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.
Enabling/Disabling Quiet-Period Timer
You can use the following commands to enable/disable a quiet-period timer of the
Switch 8800. 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.
