4.2.8 Changing the QUIET Time
When the user authentication fails, the switch does not allow that user to re-authenticate until a
specified period, which is referred to as Quiet Period.This value functions to protect the device
from malicious attacks. The default interval for Quiet Period is 5 seconds.
A shorter Quiet Period may speed up re-authentication for the users.
In the privileged mode, you can set the Quiet Period by performing the following steps:
Command Function
configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds
Set the Quiet Period.
end
Return to the privileged mode.
write
Save the configuration.
show dot1x
Show the dot1x configurations.
You can use the no dot1x timeout quiet-period command to restore the Quiet Period to its
default. In the example below the QuietPeriod value is set as 500 seconds:
DES-7200# configure terminal
DES-7200 (config)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 500
DES-7200(config)# end
4.2.9 Setting the Packet
Retransmission Interval
After the device sends the EAP-request/identity, it resends that message if no response is
received from the user within a certain period. By default, this value is 3 seconds. You should
modify this value to suit the specific network size.
In the privileged mode, you can set the packet retransmission interval by performing the
following steps:
Command Function
configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
dot1x timeout tx-period seconds
Setting the Packet Retransmission Interval
end
Return to the privileged mode.
write
Save the configuration.
show dot1x
Show the dot1x configurations.
You can use the no dot1x timeout tx-period to restore the packet re-transmission interval to
its default. The following example sets the packet retransmission interval as 100 seconds:
DES-7200# configure terminal
DES-7200(config)# dot1x timeout tx-period 100
DES-7200(config)# end
