802.1x Commands 827
User Guidelines
It is recommended that the user set the dot1x timeout guest-vlan-period to at
least three times the while timer, so that at least three EAP Requests are sent,
before assuming that the client is a dot1x unaware client.
Example
The following example sets the dot1x timeout guest vlan period to 100
seconds.
console(config)# dot1x timeout guest-vlan-period 100
dot1x timeout quiet-period
Use the dot1x timeout quiet-period command in Interface Configuration
mode to set the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange (for example, the client provided
an invalid password). To return to the default setting, use the no form of this
command.
