Syntax
dot1x timeout quiet-period seconds

Parameters
■ seconds — Specifies the time in seconds that the device remains in the
quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client.
(Range: 0-65535 seconds)
Default Configuration

Command Mode

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 for
unusual circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral
problems with certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide a faster response time to the user, a smaller number than the
default value should be entered.
Example
The following example sets the number of seconds that the device
remains in the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange to
3600.
Console(config)#
interface ethernet
g16
Console(config-if)#
