Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S5048F–ON System 9.14.2.8

Configuring Timeouts

If the supplicant or the authentication server is unresponsive, the authenticator terminates the authentication process after 30 seconds by default. You can configure the amount of time the authenticator waits for a response.

To terminate the authentication process, use the following commands:

  • Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive supplicant.
    INTERFACE mode
    dot1x supplicant-timeout seconds
    The range is from 1 to 300.
    The default is 30.
  • Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive authentication server.
    INTERFACE mode
    dot1x server-timeout seconds
    The range is from 1 to 300.
    The default is 30.

Example of Viewing Configured Server Timeouts

The example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator terminates the authentication process for an unresponsive supplicant or server after 15 seconds.

The bold lines show the new supplicant and server timeouts.
