The Request Identity Retransmit interval is for an unresponsive supplicant. You can configure the interval for a maximum of 10 times for an unresponsive supplicant. 1. Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits to retransmit a Request Identity frame after a failed authentication in INTERFACE mode from 1 to 65535, default 60 seconds. dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds Configure and verify port authentication OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/7-1/1/8)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 120 OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/7-1/1/8)# do show dot1x interface ethernet 1/1/7 802.1x information on ethernet1/1/7 Dot1x Status: Enable Port Control: AUTO Port Auth Status: UNAUTHORIZED Re-Authentication: Enable Tx Period: 120 seconds Quiet Period: 120 seconds Supplicant Timeout: 30 seconds Server Timeout: 30 seconds Re-Auth Interval: 3600 seconds Max-EAP-Req: 5 Host Mode: MULTI_HOST Auth PAE State: Initialize Backend State: Idle View interface running configuration OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/7-1/1/8)# do show running-configuration interface ... ! interface ethernet1/1/7 no shutdown dot1x max-req 5 dot1x port-control auto dot1x re-authentication dot1x timeout quiet-period 120 dot1x timeout tx-period 120 ! interface ethernet1/1/8 no shutdown dot1x max-req 5 dot1x port-control auto dot1x re-authentication dot1x timeout quiet-period 120 dot1x timeout tx-period 120 ... Port control mode 802.1X requires a port to be in one of three states - force-authorized, force-unauthorized, or auto. force-authorized (default) forceunauthorized auto This is an authorized state. A device connected to this port does not use the authentication process but can communicate on the network. Placing the port in this state is the same as disabling 802.1X on the port. forceauthorized is the default mode. This is an unauthorized state. A device connected to a port does not use the authentication process but is not allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the port in this state is the same as shutting down the port. Any attempt by the supplicant to initiate authentication is ignored. This is an unauthorized state by default. A device connected to this port is subject to the authentication process. If the process is successful, the port is authorized and the connected device communicates on the network. • Place a port in the auto, force-authorized (default), or force-unauthorized state in INTERFACE mode. dot1x port-control {auto | force-authorized | force-unauthorized} Layer 2 393
