Youcan configure this period.NOTE: The quiet period (dot1x quiet-period) is the transmit interval after a failed authentication; the Request Identity 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.96 802.1X
