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. Command Syntax dot1x quiet-period seconds Range: 1-65535 Default: 60 Command Mode INTERFACE Figure 6-7 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 Figure 6-7.

A device connected to this port in this state is never subjected to the authentication process, but is allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the port in this state is same as disabling 802.1X on the port. 802.1X | 91
