398 CHAPTER 21: 802.1X CONFIGURATION
Configuring Timers The following commands are used for configuring the 802.1x timers.
Perform the following configurations in System View.
Table 421 Configuring Timers
handshake-period: This timer begins after the user has passed the authentication.
After setting handshake-period, system will send the handshake packet by the period.
Suppose the dot1x retry time is configured as N, the system will consider the user
having logged off and set the user as logoff state if system doesn't receive the
response from user for consecutive N times.
handshake-period-value: Handshake period. The value ranges from 1 to 1024 in
units of second and defaults to 15.
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.
supp-timeout: Specify the authentication timeout timer of a user. After the
Authenticator sends a Request/Challenge request packet to request the MD5
encrypted text, the supp-timeout timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If the user
does not respond back successfully within the time range set by this timer, the
Authenticator will resend the above packet.
supp-timeout-value: Specify how long the duration of an authentication timeout
timer of a user is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second, and defaults to
30.
tx-period: Specify the transmission timeout timer. After the Authenticator sends a
Request/Identity request packet which requests the user name, or the user name and
password together the tx-period timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If the user
does not respond back successfully with an authentication reply packet, then the
Authenticator will resend the authentication request packet.
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.
