2 - Quiet Period
The quiet period is the number of seconds that the port remains
in the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with
the clien
t. The default value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535
seconds.
3 - TX Period
This parameter sets the number of seconds that the switch waits
for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client
before retransmitting the request. The default value is 30 seconds.
The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
4 - Reauth Period
The reauth period enables periodic reauthentication of the client,
which is disabled by default. The default value is 3600 seconds.
The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
5 - Supplicant Timeout
This parameter sets the switch-to-client retransmission time for
the EAP-request frame. The default value for this parameter is 30
seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.
6 - Server Timeout
This parameter sets the timer used by the switch to determine
authentication server timeout conditions. The default value for
this parameter is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
7 - Max Requests
This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the
switch retransmits an EAP Request packet to the client before it
times out the authentication session. The default value for this
parameter is 2 retransmissions. The range is 1 to 10
retransmissions.
8 - Control Direction
This parameter specifies how the port handles ingress and egress
broadcast and multicast packets when in the unauthorized state.
When a port is set to the Authenticator role, it remains in the
unauthorized state until the client logs on by providing a
username and password combination. In the unauthorized state,
the port only accepts EAP packets from the client. All other ingress
packets that the port might receive from the client, including
multicast and broadcast traffic, is discarded until the supplicant
has logged in.
The two possible values are:
