Parameters

max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client, in the range of 1 to 10.

Description

Use dot1x retry to set the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client.

Use undo dot1x retry to restore the default.

By default, the maximum number of attempts that the device can send an authentication request to a client is twice.

After the network access device sends an authentication request to a client, if the device receives no response from the client within the username request timeout timer (set with the dot1x timer tx-period tx-period-value command) or the client timeout timer (set with the dot1x timer supp-timeout supp-timeout-value command), the device retransmits the authentication request. The network access device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of request transmission attempts but still received no response.

This command applies to all ports of the device.
