Parameters

Value |
|---|---|---|
quiet-period-value |
Sets the quiet period for MAC address authentication users who fail to be authenticated. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 3600, in seconds. NOTE:
If the value of quiet-period-value is 0, the quiet function is disabled for MAC address authentication users. |
Usage Guidelines
If a MAC address authentication user fails to be authenticated consecutively within a short period, the system is affected and a large number of duplicated authentication failure logs are generated.
After the quiet function is enabled, if the number of times that a MAC address authentication user fails to be authenticated within 60s exceeds the upper limit (configured using the mac-authen quiet-times command), the device discards the user's MAC address authentication request packets for a period to avoid frequent authentication failures.
