set dot1x reauth-max

becomes unauthorized.

Syntax

set dot1x reauth-max number-of-attempts

Defaults

The default number of reauthentication attempts is 2.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in MSS 1.0.

Usage

If the number of reauthentications for a wired authentication client is greater than the

maximum number of reauthentications allowed, MSS sends an EAP failure packet to the client

and removes the client from the network. However, MSS does not remove a wireless client from

the network under these circumstances.

Examples

Type the following command to set the number of authentication attempts to 8:

MX# set dot1x reauth-max 8

success: dot1x max reauth set to 8.
