DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 4 802.1x Configuration
4-17
4.2.10 Setting the Maximum
Number of Requests
If the switch does not receive response within the ServerTimeout after it sends an
authentication request to the RadiusServer, it will retransmit the packets.The maximum
number of requests are the maximum retransmission requests of the device, and the
authentication fails if this number is exceeded. By default, this value is 3. You should modify
this value to suit the specific network size.
In the privileged mode, you can set the maximum number of retransmissions by performing the
following steps:
Command Function
configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
dot1x max-req count
Set the maximum number of packet
re-transmissions.
end
Return to the privileged mode.
write
Save the configuration.
show dot1x
Show the dot1x configurations.
DES-7200#show dot1x
You can use the no dot1x max-req command to restore the maximum number of
packet re-transmissions to its default. The following example sets the maximum
number of packet retransmissions to 5:
DES-7200# configure terminal
DES-7200(config)# dot1x max-req 5
DES-7200(config)# end
4.2.11 Setting the Maximum
Number of
Re-authentications
When the user authentication fails, the device attempts to perform authentication for the user
once again. When the number of attempts exceeds the maximum number of authentications,
the switch believes that this user is already disconnected, and ends the authentication process
accordingly. By default, the number is 3. However, you can modify this value.
In the privileged mode, you can set the maximum number of re-authentications by performing
the following steps:
Command Function
configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
dot1x reauth-max count
