Managing 802.1X on the WSS Switch 497

Setting the Maximum Number of 802.1X Reauthentication Attempts

The following command sets the number of reauthentication attempts that the WSS switch makes before the supplicant (client) becomes unauthorized:

set dot1x reauth-max number-of-attempts

The default number of reauthentication attempts is 2. You can specify from 1 to 10 attempts. For example, type the following command to set the number of authentication attempts to 8:

23x0# set dot1x reauth-max 8

success: dot1x max reauth set to 8.

Type the following command to reset the maximum number of reauthorization attempts to the default:

23x0# clear dot1x reauth-max

success: change accepted.

Note. If the number of reauthentications for a wired authentication client is greater than the maximum number of reauthentications allowed, WSS Software sends an EAP failure packet to the client and removes the client from the network. However, WSS Software does not remove a wireless client from the network under these circumstances.
