DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 5/15/12 – FOR PROOF ONLY
Command Modes
Interface configuration (Ethernet)
Usage Guidelines
The command causes 802.1x switch to send Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-
request/identity frame from the authenticator (switch) each tx-period automatically. It is
recommended to activate this command only in case there is at least one device with not full 802.1x
functionality connected to port (for example Windows EX with Service Pack 2). In addition it is
recommended to increase dot1x timeout tx-period to reduce the overhead during the processing of
supplicant responses on switch.
