Configuring 802.1x timeouts on specific interface ports

NOTE

While you are free to modify the timeouts, Brocade recommends that you leave timeouts set to their default values.

To configure 802.1x timeout attributes on a specific interface port, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode. Repeat this task for each interface port you wish to modify.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Use the interface command to select the interface port to modify.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/12

3. Configure the timeout interval.

switch(conf-if-te-1/12)#dot1x timeout supp-timeout 40

Configuring 802.1x re-authentication on specific interface ports

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Use the interface command to select the interface port to modify.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/12

3. Enable 802.1x authentication for the interface port.

switch(conf-if-te-1/12)#dot1x authentication

4. Configure reauthentication for the interface port.

switch(conf-if-te-1/12)#dot1x reauthentication switch(conf-if-te-1/12)#dot1x timeout re-authperiod 4000
