Setting a global timeout value for performing readiness checks
The 802.1x readiness check monitors 802.1x activity on all the switch ports and displays
information about the devices connected to the ports that support 802.1x. You can use this feature
to determine if the devices connected to the switch ports are 802.1x-capable.
