802.1x supp-polling retry User Documentation Addendum

802.1x supp-polling retry

Configures the number of times to poll a device for EAP frames to determine whether or not the device is an 802.1x client.

802.1x slot/port supp-polling retry retries

Syntax Definitions

slot	The slot number of the 802.1x port.
port	The 802.1x port number.
retries	The number of times a device is polled for EAP frames (1–99).

Defaults

By default, the number of retries is set to 2.

Platforms Supported

OmniSwitch 6624, 6648, 7700, 7800, 8800

Usage Guideline

•The polling interval is 0.5 seconds between each retry.

•If no EAP frames are received from a device connected to an 802.1x port, the device is considered a non-802.1x client (non-supplicant).

•If a guest VLAN is configured on the 802.1x port, the non-802.1x client is assigned to the guest VLAN. If a guest VLAN does not exist, the device is blocked from accessing the 802.1x port.

Examples

-> 802.1x 3/1 supp-polling retry 5 -> 802.1x 3/1 supp-polling retry 10
