access device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of request

transmission attempts but still received no response.

To set the maximum number of authentication request attempts:

Step

Command

Remarks

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

Set the maximum number of

attempts for sending an

authentication request.

dot1x retry

max-retry-value

Optional.

The default setting is 2.

Setting the 802.1X authentication timeout timers

The network device uses the following 802.1X authentication timeout timers:

•

Client timeout timer

—Starts when the access device sends an EAP-Request/MD5 Challenge packet

to a client. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device retransmits the

request to the client.

•

Server timeout timer

—Starts when the access device sends a RADIUS Access-Request packet to the

authentication server. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device

retransmits the request to the server.

You can set the client timeout timer to a high value in a low-performance network, and adjust the server

timeout timer to adapt to the performance of different authentication servers. In most cases, the default

settings are sufficient.

To set the 802.1X authentication timeout timers:

Step

Command

Remarks

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

Set the client timeout

timer.

dot1x timer supp-timeout

supp-timeout-value

Optional.

The default is 30 seconds.

Set the server timeout

timer.

dot1x timer server-timeout

server-timeout-value

Optional.

The default is 100 seconds.

Configuring the online user handshake function

The online user handshake function checks the connectivity status of online 802.1X users. The network

access device sends handshake messages to online users at the interval specified by the

dot1x timer

handshake-period

command. If no response is received from an online user after the maximum number

of handshake attempts (set by the

dot1x retry

command) has been made, the network access device sets

the user in the offline state.

If iNode clients are deployed, you can also enable the online handshake security function to check for

802.1X users that use illegal client software to bypass security inspection such as proxy detection and

dual network interface cards (NICs) detection. This function checks the authentication information in

client handshake messages. If a user fails the authentication, the network access device logs the user off.
