Configuring 802.1x Global Settings

The dot1x protocol includes global parameters that control the client authentication process that runs between the client and the switch (i.e., authenticator), as well as the client identity lookup process that runs between the switch and authentication server. The configuration options for parameters are described in this section.

Command Attributes

•dot1X Re-authentication– Sets the client to be re-authenticated after the interval specified by the Timeout for Re-authentication Period. Re-authentication can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port. (Default: Disabled)

•dot1X Max Request Count – Sets the maximum number of times the switch port will retransmit an EAP request packet to the client before it times out the authentication session. (Range: 1-10; Default 2)
