• Configure a maximum number of times the authenticator re-transmits a Request Identity frame.INTERFACE modedot1x max-eap-req numberThe range is from 1 to 10.The default is 2.The example in Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed Authentication shows configuration information for a port for which theauthenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame after 90 seconds and re-transmits a maximum of 10 times.Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed AuthenticationIf the supplicant fails the authentication process, the authenticator sends another Request Identity frame after 30 seconds bydefault, but you can configure this period.NOTE: The quiet period (dot1x quiet-period) is a transmit interval for after a failed authentication; the RequestIdentity Re-transmit interval (dot1x tx-period) is for an unresponsive supplicant.To configure a quiet period, use the following command.• Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits to re-transmit a Request Identity frame after a failed authentication.INTERFACE modedot1x quiet-period secondsThe range is from 1 to 65535.The default is 60 seconds.Example of Configuring and Verifying Port AuthenticationThe following example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identityframe:• after 90 seconds and a maximum of 10 times for an unresponsive supplicant• re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frameThe bold lines show the new re-transmit interval, new quiet period, and new maximum re-transmissions.FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-2/1)#dot1x tx-period 90FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-2/1)#dot1x max-eap-req 10FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-2/1)#dot1x quiet-period 120FTOS#show dot1x interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/1802.1x information on Te 2/1:-----------------------------Dot1x Status: EnablePort Control: AUTOPort Auth Status: UNAUTHORIZEDRe-Authentication: DisableUntagged VLAN id: NoneTx Period: 90 secondsQuiet Period: 120 secondsReAuth Max: 2Supplicant Timeout: 30 secondsServer Timeout: 30 secondsRe-Auth Interval: 3600 secondsMax-EAP-Req: 10Auth Type: SINGLE_HOSTAuth PAE State: InitializeBackend State: Initialize78 802.1X
