Appendix K Router Platform User Interface Reference

802.1x Policy Page

Table K-79	802.1x Page (Continued)
Client reauthentication		Applies only when the Enable client reauthentication check box is selected.
period timeout		The number of seconds between client reauthentication attempts. Valid
		values range from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
Quiet period		The amount of time the router remains in a quiet state after a failed
		authentication exchange with the client. Authentication exchanges might
		fail, for example, because the client provided an invalid password.
		Valid values range from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 120 seconds.
		Note Entering a value smaller than the default provides a faster response
		time to the user.
Rate Limit period		The interval after which the interface throttles the EAP-Start packets it
		receives from malfunctioning client PCs. Use this setting, called rate
		limiting, to prevent these clients from wasting router processing power.
		Valid values range from 1 to 65535 seconds. By default, rate limiting is
		disabled.
		Note To disable an existing rate limit, delete the value defined in this field
		and leave the field blank.
AAA Server timeout		The number of seconds the router waits before retransmitting packets to the
		AAA server. If the router sends an 802.1x packet to the AAA server and the
		server does not respond, the router sends another packet after this interval
		elapses.
		Valid values range from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Supplicant period		The number of seconds the router waits before retransmitting
		EAP-Request/Identity packets to the supplicant (client PC). If the router
		sends an EAP-Request/Identity packet to the client PC (supplicant) and the
		supplicant does not respond, the router sends the packet again after this
		interval elapses.
		Valid values range from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
