538CHAPTER 23: MANAGING 802.1X ON THE WX SWITCH

Setting the Bonded The following command changes the Bonded Auth™ (bonded Authentication authentication) period, which is the number of seconds MSS retains

Period session information for an authenticated machine while waiting for the 802.1X client on the machine to start (re)authentication for the user.

Normally, the Bonded Auth period needs to be set only if the network has Bonded Auth clients that use dynamic WEP, or use WEP-40 or WEP-104 encryption with WPA or RSN. These clients can be affected by the 802.1X reauthentication parameter or the RADIUS Session-Timeout parameter.

To set the Bonded Auth period, use the following command:

set dot1x bonded-period seconds

The Bonded Auth period applies only to 802.1X authentication rules that contain the bonded option.

To reset the Bonded Auth period to its default value, use the following command:

clear dot1x max-req

(For more information about Bonded Auth, see “Binding User Authentication to Machine Authentication” on page 451.)

Timerswhose authentication failed, and times out a request to a RADIUS server or an authentication session with a client after 30 seconds. You can modify these defaults.

Setting the 802.1X The following command configures the number of seconds a WX switch Quiet Period remains quiet and does not respond to a supplicant (client) after a failed

authentication:

set dot1x quiet-period seconds

The default is 60 seconds. The acceptable range is from 0 to 65,535 seconds.

For example, type the following command to set the quiet period to

300 seconds:

WX1200# set dot1x quiet-period 300 success: dot1x quiet period set to 300.
