Ethernet port are able to access the network without being authenticated if a supplicant
system among them passes the authentication. And when the supplicant system logs
off, the network is inaccessible to all other supplicant systems either.
When being executed in system view, these two commands apply to all Ethernet ports
of the switch if you do not provide the interface-list argument. And if you specify the
interface-list argument, these commands apply to the specified Ethernet ports. When
being executed in Ethernet port view, these two commands apply to the current
Ethernet port only. In this case, the interface-list argument is not needed.

Description
Use the dot1x quiet-period command to enable the quiet-period timer.
Use the undo dot1x quiet-period command to disable the quiet-period timer.
When a supplicant system fails to pass the authentication, the authenticator system
(such as a 3Com Ethernet switch) will stay quiet for a period (determined by the
quiet-period timer) before it performs another authentication. During the quiet period,
the authenticator system performs no 802.1x authentication.
By default, the quiet-period timer is disabled.
