Configuring the quiet timer

The quiet timer enables the network access device to wait a period of time before it can process any
authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X authentication.
You can set the quiet timer to a high value in a vulnerable network or a low value for quicker

authentication response.

Enabling the periodic online user re-authentication
function

Periodic online user re-authentication tracks the connection status of online users, and updates the

authorization attributes assigned by the server. The re-authentication interval is user configurable.
The periodic online user re-authentication timer can also be set by the authentication server in the
session-timeout attribute. The server-assigned timer overrides the timer setting on the access device, and

enables periodic online user re-authentication, even if the function is not configured. Support for the

server assignment of re-authentication timer and the re-authentication timer configuration on the server

vary with servers.
