1-18The unicast trigger function is used for clients that cannot initiate authentication unsolicitedly and issuitable for networks not requiring all the clients to be authenticated. Therefore, it is recommended todisable the multicast trigger function when the unicast trigger function is enabled, so as to avoid sendingauthentication packets to authenticated clients or clients requiring no authentication.Specifying a Mandatory Authentication Domain for a PortWith a mandatory authentication domain specified for a port, the system uses the mandatoryauthentication domain for authentication, authorization, and accounting of all 802.1X users on the port.Follow these steps to specify a mandatory authentication domain for a port:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter Ethernet interface view interface interface-typeinterface-number —Specify a mandatoryauthentication domain for theportdot1x mandatory-domaindomain-nameRequiredNot specified by defaultEnabling the Quiet Timer FunctionAfter the quiet timer is enabled on the device, when a client fails 802.1X authentication, the devicerefuses further authentication requests from the client in a period of time, which is specified by the quiettimer (using the dot1x timer quiet-period command).Follow these steps to enable the quiet timer:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enable the quiet timer dot1x quiet-period RequiredDisabled by defaultEnabling the Re-Authentication FunctionIf periodic re-authentication is enabled on a port, the device will re-authenticate online users on the portat the interval specified by the periodic re-authentication timer. This is intended to track the connectionstatus of online users and update the authorization attributes assigned by the server, such as the ACL,VLAN, and QoS Profile, ensuring that the users are in normal online state.Follow these steps to enable the periodic re-authentication function:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —
