Parameter
None
Description
Use the dot1x quiet-period command to enable the quiet-period timer. Use the
undo dot1x quiet-period command to disable this timer.
If an 802.1x user has not been authenticated, 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.
By default, the quiet-period timer is disabled.
Related command: display dot1x, dot1x timer.
Example
To enable quiet-period timer, enter the following:
<4500>system-view

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 3 times.
Description
Use the dot1x retry command to configure the maximum times a 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 an 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 to
specify 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
the 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 an effect on all the
ports after configuration.
