DOT1X QUIET-PERIOD

Syntax

dot1x quiet-period <1-65535>

no dot1x quiet-period

Parameters

<1-65535>

Specifies the number of seconds between the retrial of

authentication. Choose a value between 1 and 65,535
seconds.

Description

Use the DOT1X QUIET-PERIOD command to set the quiet-period time
interval which is the amount of time the switch is in the held (or idle) state
before it tries to authenticate the client again.

When a switch cannot authenticate a client, the switch remains idle for a
quiet-period interval of time, then tries again. By changing the quiet-period
interval, by entering a lower number than the default, the switch can
provide a faster response time.

Use the no form of this command to set the configured quiet period to the
default value of 60 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.

Command Mode

Example

The following series of commands set the quiet-period interval to 200
seconds on interface 2:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# interface xe2

switch(config-if)# dot1x quiet-period 200
