Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the quiet period:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds
3. end
4. show dot1x
5. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
To return to the default quiet time, use the no dot1x timeout quiet-period global configuration
command.
Changing the Switch-to-Client Retransmission Time
The client responds to the EAP-request/identity frame from the switch with an EAP-response/identity
frame. If the switch does not receive this response, it waits a set period of time (known as the
retransmission time), and then retransmits the frame.
Note You should change the default value of this command only to adjust for unusual circumstances such
as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with certain clients and authentication servers.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the amount of time that the switch
waits for client notification:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. dot1x timeout tx-period seconds
3. end
4. show dot1x
5. copy running-config startup-config
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds
Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client.
The range is 0 to 65535 seconds; the default is 60.
Step 3
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show dot1x
Verifies your entries.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
