Use the undo dot1x timer command to restore the default values. 802.1x has many timers that control the rational and orderly interacting of the Supplicant, the Authenticator and the Authentication Server. This command can set some of the timers (while other timers cannot be set) to adapt the interaction process. Changing the timers could be necessary in some special cases, but generally the user should keep the default values. Related command: display dot1x.
