`dot1x timeout`

Configures the timeout parameters that determine the time interval for client reauthentication and EAP retransmissions.

Syntax

dot1x timeout {quiet-period seconds| supplicant seconds | tx-period seconds }

no dot1x timeout {quiet-period seconds| supplicant seconds | tx-period seconds }

Command Default

The timeout parameters are not applied to the device.

Parameters

quiet-period seconds: Specifies the time, in seconds, the device waits before trying to re-authenticate the client. The quiet period can be from 1 through 4294967295 seconds. The default is 60 seconds. If the RUCKUS device is unable to authenticate the client, the ICX device waits a specified amount of time before trying again. The amount of time the device waits is specified with the quiet period parameter.
supplicant seconds: By default, when the ICX device relays an EAP-Request frame from the RADIUS server to the client, it expects to receive a response from the client within 30 seconds. You can optionally specify the wait interval using the supplicant seconds parameters. The value is 1 through 4294967295.
tx-period seconds: Specifies the EAP request retransmission interval, in seconds, with the client. By default, if the device does not receive an EAP-response/identity frame from a client, the device waits 30 seconds, then retransmits the EAP-request/identity frame. You can optionally change the amount of time the device waits before re-transmitting the EAP-request/identity frame to the client. If the client does not send back an EAP-response/identity frame within 60 seconds, the device will transmit another EAP-request/identity frame. The tx-period is a value from 1 through 4294967295. The default is 30 seconds.
