The time the supplicant is held after an authentication failure before the authenticator retries the supplicant for connection is changed to 120 seconds, the number of re-authentication attempts permitted before the port becomes Unauthorized is set to 7, and the time the authenticator waits to transmit another request for identification from the supplicant is changed to 120 seconds. These values can be changed on all ports depending on devices being authenticated.
