244 CHAPTER 9: AAA AND RADIUS OPERATION
Setting the Maximum Retransmission Times
The following commands are used for setting the maximum
authenticator-to-supplicant frame-retransmission times.
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, the max-retry-value is 3. That is, the switch can retransmit the
authentication request frame to a supplicant for 3 times at most.
Setting the Handshake Period of 802.1x
The following commands are used to set the handshake period of 802.1x. After
setting the handshake-period, the system sends the handshake packet by the
period. If the dot1x retry time is configured as N, the system considers the user
logged off and sets the user in logoff stat if the it does not receive a response from
the user N times, consecutively.
Perform the following configurations in system view.
By default, the handshake period is 15 seconds.
Configuring Timers
The following commands are used for configuring the 802.1x timers.
Perform the following configurations in system view.
quiet-period: Specify the quiet timer. If an 802.1x user has not passed the
authentication, the Authenticator will keep quiet for a while (which is specified by
quiet-period timer) before launching the authentication again. During the quiet
period, the Authenticator does not do anything related to 802.1x authentication.
