1-18authenticates the 802.1x client who cannot request for authentication actively. The switch sendsmulticast request/identity packets periodically through the port enabled with 802.1x function. In thiscase, this timer sets the interval to send the multicast request/identity packets.The tx-period-value argument ranges from 1 to 120 (in seconds). By default, the transmission timer isset to 30 seconds.ver-period ver-period-value: Sets the client version request timer. This timer sets the version periodand is triggered after a switch sends a version request packet. The switch sends another versionrequest packet if it does receive version response packets from the supplicant system when the timerexpires.The ver-period-value argument ranges from 1 to 30 (in seconds). By default, the client version requesttimer is set to 30 seconds.DescriptionUse the dot1x timer command to set a specified 802.1x timer.Use the undo dot1x timer command to restore a specified 802.1x timer to the default setting.During an 802.1x authentication process, multiple timers are triggered to ensure that the supplicantsystems, the authenticator systems, and the Authentication servers interact with each other in anorderly way. To make authentications being processed in the desired way, you can use the dot1x timercommand to set the timers as needed. This may be necessary in some special situations or in toughnetwork environments. Normally, the defaults are recommended.
