dot1x timer tx-period
Function
The dot1x timer tx-period command sets the interval at which the device sends authentication requests.
The undo dot1x timer tx-period command restores the default configuration.
By default, the device sends authentication requests at an interval of 2 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
The device starts the tx-period timer in either of the following situations:
- When the client initiates authentication, the device sends a unicast Request/Identity packet to the client and starts the tx-period timer. If the client does not respond within the period set by the timer, the device retransmits the authentication request.
- To authenticate the 802.1X clients that cannot initiate authentication, the device periodically sends multicast Request/Identity packets through the 802.1X-enabled interface to the clients at the interval set by the tx-period timer.
Normally, it is recommended that you retain the default setting of the timer.
