Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command will disable this functionality.

The ICX device retransmits the EAP-request/identity frame a maximum of two times. If no EAP response/identity frame is received from the client after two EAP-request/identity frame re-transmissions (or the amount of time specified with the max-reauth-req command), the device restarts the authentication process with the client.

You can optionally change the number of times the device should retransmit the EAP request/identity frame.

Examples

The following example configures the device to retransmit an EAP-request/identity frame to a client a maximum of three times. 

device(config)# authentication
device(config-authen)# dot1x max-reauth-req 3
