User Guidelines
During the quiet period, the device does not accept or initiate authentication
requests.
The default value of this command should only be changed to adjust for unusual
circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with
certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide a faster response time to the user, a smaller number than the default
value should be entered.
Example
The following example sets the number of seconds that the device remains in the
quiet state following a failed authentication exchange to 3600.
Console(config)# interface ethernet e16
Console(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 3600
dot1x timeout tx-period
The dot1x timeout tx-period Interface Configuration mode command sets the
number of seconds that the device waits for a response to an Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP)-request/identity frame from the client before
resending the request. Use the no form of this command to restore the default
configuration.
