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, but you can configure this period.

  • NOTE: The quiet period ( dot1x quiet-period) is a transmit interval for 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.
