dot1x timeout

This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state

machine on this port. Depending on the token used and the value (in seconds) passed,

various timeout configurable parameters are set. The following tokens are supported:

guest-vlan-period
reauth-period
quiet-period
tx-period
supp-timeout
server-timeout
Default • guest-vlan-period: 90 seconds
• reauth-period: 3600 seconds
• quiet-period: 60 seconds
• tx-period: 30 seconds
• supp-timeout: 30 seconds
• server-timeout: 30 seconds
Format dot1x timeout {{guest-vlan-period <seconds>} |{reauth-period
<seconds>} | {quiet-period <seconds>} | {tx-period <seconds>} |
{supp-timeout <seconds>} | {server-timeout <seconds>}}
Mode

no dot1x timeout

This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state

machine on this port to the default values. Depending on the token used, the corresponding

default values are set.

Format no dot1x timeout {guest-vlan-period | reauth-period | quiet-period |
tx-period | supp-timeout | server-timeout}

Tokens Definition
The time, in seconds, for which the authenticator waits to see if any EAPOL packets are
received on a port before authorizing the port and placing the port in the guest vlan (if
configured). The guest vlan timer is only relevant when guest vlan has been configured
on that specific port.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to determine when re-authentication of the supplicant takes place. The reauth-period
must be a value in the range 1 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The
quiet-period must be a value in the range 0 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to determine when to send an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The
quiet-period must be a value in the range 1 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to timeout the supplicant. The supp-timeout must be a value in the range 1 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to timeout the authentication server. The supp-timeout must be a value in the range 1 -
65535.
