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 this period can be configured. Note: The quiet period (dot1x quiet-period) is an transmit interval for after a failed authentication where as the Request Identity Re-transmit interval (dot1x tx-period) is for an unresponsive supplicant. To configure the quiet period after a failed authentication: Step 1 Task Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits to re-transmit a Request Identity frame after a failed authentication.
