Quiet Period -

This input field allows the user to configure the quiet period for the selected port. This command

sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to define periods of

time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The quiet period is the period for which the authenticator

does not attempt to acquire a supplicant after a failed authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet

period must be a number in the range of 0 and 65535. A quiet period value of 0 means that the authenticator state

machine will never acquire a supplicant. The default value is 60. Changing the value will not change the

configuration until the Submit button is pressed.

Transmit Period -

This input field allows the user to configure the transmit period for the selected port. The

transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on the specified port

to determine when to send an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The transmit period must be

a number in the range of 1 and 65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value will not change the

configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
