Held Period
Specifies the amount of time in seconds the supplicant is to refrain
from retrying to re-contact the authenticator in the event the end user
provides an invalid username and/or password. Once the time period
has expired, the supplicant can attempt to log on again. The range is 0
to 65,535 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.

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

Start Period
Specifies 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.

User Name
Specifies 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 up to 30 alphanumeric characters (A to
Z, a to z, 1 to 9). Spaces are allowed, but special characters, such as
an asterisk or exclamation point, should be avoided. The username is
case-sensitive.

User Password
Specifies the password for the switch port. The port sends the
password to the authentication server for verification when the port
logs on to the network. The password can be up to 16 alphanumeric
characters (A to Z, a to z, 1 to 9). Spaces are allowed, but special
characters, such as an asterisk or exclamation point, should be
avoided. The password is case-sensitive.
