Usage Information
When you configure the dot1x server-timeout value, take into account the communication medium used to
communicate with an authentication server and the number of RADIUS servers configured. Ideally, the dot1x
server-timeout value (in seconds) is based on the configured RADIUS-server timeout and retransmit values
and calculated according to the following formula: dot1x server-timeout seconds > (radius-server
retransmit seconds + 1) * radius-server timeout seconds.
Where the default values are as follows: dot1x server-timeout (30 seconds), radius-server retransmit (3
seconds), and radius-server timeout (5 seconds).
Example
DellEMC(conf)# radius-server host 10.11.197.105 timeout 6
DellEMC(conf)# radius-server host 10.11.197.105 retransmit 4
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 2/23
DellEMC(conf-if-te-2/23)# dot1x server-timeout 40
DellEMC(conf-if-te-2/23)#
dot1x supplicant-timeout
Configure the amount of time after which exchanges with the supplicant time-out.
Syntax
dot1x supplicant-timeout seconds
To return to the default, use the no dot1x supplicant-timeout command.
Parameters
