512802.1X Management Commands

History Introduced in WSS Software 1.0.

Usage To support SSIDs that have both 802.1X and static WEP clients, WSS Software sends a maximum of two ID requests, even if this parameter is set to a higher value. Setting the parameter to a higher value does affect all other types of EAP messages.

Examples Type the following command to set the maximum number of EAP request retransmissions to three attempts:

WSS# set dot1x max-req 3

success: dot1x max request set to 3.
