seconds.

2 - Held Period
The held period specifies the amount of time in seconds the supplicant
is to refrain from retrying to re-contact the authenticator in the event

time period has expired, the supplicant can attempt to log on again.
The range is 0 to 65,535. The default value is 60.

3 - Max Start
Max start is the maximum number of times the supplicant sends
EAPOL-Start frames before assuming that there is no authenticator
present. The range is 1 to 10. The default is 3.

4 - Start Period
The start period is the time period in seconds between successive
attempts by the supplicant to establish contact with an authenticator
when there is no reply. The range is 1 to 60. The default is 30.

5 - User Name
The user name is the username for the switch port. The port sends the
name to the authentication server for verification when the port logs on
to the network. The username can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric
