Figure 8-10 802.1X Port Settings

The fields that can be configured are described below:

Parameter Description

From Port / To Port

Select a range of ports you wish to configure.

QuietPeriod (0-65535)

This allows the user to set the number of seconds that the Switch remains in the

quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default

setting is 60 seconds.

SuppTimeout (1-65535)

This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the

Authenticator and the client. The default setting is 30 seconds. It is defined in

SuppTimeout, IEEE-802.1X-2001, page 47. The initialization value is used for the

awhile timer when timing out the Supplicant. Its default value is 30 seconds;

however, if the type of challenge involved in the current exchange demands a

different value of timeout (for example, if the challenge requires an action on the

part of the user), then the timeout value is adjusted accordingly. It can be set by

management to any value in the range from 1 to 65535 seconds.

ServerTimeout (1-65535)

This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the

Authenticator and the authentication server. The default setting is 30 seconds.

MaxReq (1-10)

The maximum number of times that the Switch will retransmit an EAP Request to

the client before it times out of the authentication sessions. The default setting is

2. It is defined in MaxReq, IEEE-802.1X-2001 page 47. The maximum number of

times that the state machine will retransmit an EAP Request packet to the

Supplicant before it times out the authentication session. Its default value is 2; it

can be set by management to any value in the range from 1 to 10.

TxPeriod (1-65535)

This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This

value determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the

client. The default setting is 30 seconds.
