Syntax
dot1x timeout quiet-period
seconds
no dot1x timeout quiet-period
Parameters
seconds
—Specifies the time interval in seconds that the device remains in a
quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client. (Range:
0–65535 seconds)
Default Configuration

User Guidelines
During the quiet period, the device does not accept or initiate authentication
requests.
The default value of this command should only be changed to adjust to
unusual circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral
problems with certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide faster response time to the user, a smaller number than the default
value should be entered.
Example
The following example sets the time interval that the device remains in the
quiet state following a failed authentication exchange to 3600 seconds.
