set dot1x max-req
Sets the maximum number of times the MX retransmits an EAP request to a supplicant (client)
before ending the authentication session.

Defaults The default number of EAP retransmissions is 2.

Usage To support SSIDs that have both 802.1X and static WEP clients, MSS sends a maximum of
two ID requests, even if this parameter is set to a higher value. Setting the parameter to a higher
value does affect all other types of EAP messages.
Examples Type the following command to set the maximum number of EAP request
retransmissions to three attempts:
MX# set dot1x max-req 3
success: dot1x max request set to 3.
