Dell N3200-ON EMC Networking N-Series Switches CLI Reference Guide version 6.6 - Page 1084

During the quiet period, the switch does not accept or initiate any authentication requests. To provide a faster response time to the 802.1X clients, enter a smaller number than the default. Supp-timeout: The default timeout value is set per IEEE 802.1x. This value is used in conjunction with the dot1x timeout server-timeout command to limit the amount of time a supplicant can remain in a pending authentication state. Server-timeout: The actual timeout value used by the switch is this parameter or the product of the RADIUS transmission times the RADIUS timeout, whichever is smaller. Command History Syntax updated in version 6.6 firmware. Example The following command sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame to 60 seconds. A side effect of this setting is that a MAB device might take several minutes to be authenticated. console(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/16 console(config-if-Gi1/0/16)# dot1x timeout tx-period 60 The following example sets the time for the retransmission to the authentication server to 90 seconds. A side effect of this setting is that an authentication over an unreliable link to the authentication server might take as long as six or seven minutes. console(config-if-gi1/0/1)# dot1x timeout server-timeout 90 authentication timer reauthenticate Use the authentication timer reauthenticate command in Interface Configuration mode to set the number of seconds between reauthentication attempts. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command. Security Commands 1084
