User Guidelines
This command limits the number of EAP Request/Identity messages. EAP
Request/Identity messages are sent to identify if the connected host is 802.1X
capable. This setting controls how long the switch will wait to identify non-
802.1X capable hosts on ports configured to authenticate with a method
other than 802.1X. Use the dot1x max-req command to limit the number of
EAP Request messages other than EAP Request/Identity.
