page 1-8 Release 5.1.6.R02 User Guide Supplement June 2005
802.1x supp-polling retry
Configures the number of times to poll a device for EAP frames to determine whether or not the device is
an 802.1x client.
802.1x slot/port supp-polling retry retries
Syntax Definitions
slot The slot number of the 802.1x port.
port The 802.1x port number.
retries The number of times a device is polled for EAP frames (1–99).
Defaults
By default, the number of retries is set to 2.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6624, 6648, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guideline
The polling interval is 0.5 seconds between each retry.
If no EAP frames are received from a device connected to an 802.1x port, the device is considered a
non-802.1x client (non-supplicant).
If a guest VLAN is configured on the 802.1x port, the non-802.1x client is assigned to the guest
VLAN. If a guest VLAN does not exist, the device is blocked from accessing the 802.1x port.
