Configuring Request Identity Re-Transmissions

When the authenticator sends a Request Identity frame and the supplicant does not respond, the authenticator waits for 30 seconds and then re-transmits the frame.

The amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting and the maximum number of times that the authenticator re-transmits can be configured.
NOTE There are several reasons why the supplicant might fail to respond; for example, the supplicant might have been booting when the request arrived or there might be a physical layer problem.

To configure re-transmissions, use the following commands.

  • Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting an EAP Request Identity frame.
    INTERFACE mode
    dot1x tx-period number
    The range is from 1 to 65535 (1 year)
    The default is 30.
  • Configure the maximum number of times the authenticator re-transmits a Request Identity frame.
    INTERFACE mode
    dot1x max-eap-req number
    The 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 the authenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame after 90 seconds and re-transmits for 10 times.
