Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed Authentication

If the supplicant fails the authentication process, the authenticator sends another Request Identity frame after 30 seconds by default. You can 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 mode
dot1x quiet-period seconds
The range is from 1 to 65535.
The default is 60 seconds.

Example of Configuring and Verifying Port Authentication

The following example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame:
  • after 90 seconds and a maximum of 10 times for an unresponsive supplicant
  • re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame

The bold lines show the new re-transmit interval, new quiet period, and new maximum re-transmissions.
