Examples The following example sets the number of seconds that the device remains in the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange to 3600. Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e16 Console(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 3600 dot1x timeout tx-period The dot1x timeout tx-period Interface Configuration mode command sets the number of seconds that the device waits for a response to an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-request/identity frame from the client before resending the request.
