SUMMARY STEPS

4. end
5. show dot1x
6. 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.
