Setting the maximum number of 802.1X authentication attempts for MAC authentication users
If both MAC authentication and 802.1X authentication are enabled on a port, the device allows an authenticated MAC authentication user to initiate an 802.1X authentication. If the user passes 802.1X authentication, the user goes online as an 802.1X user. If the user fails 802.1X authentication, the user can retry authentication until the maximum number of authentication attempts is reached.
To set the maximum number of 802.1X authentication attempts for MAC authentication users:
