802.1x supp-polling retry User Documentation Addendum
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.
Examples
-> 802.1x 3/1 supp-polling retry 5
