Configuring Timeouts
If the supplicant or the authentication server is unresponsive, the authenticator terminates the
authentication process after 30 seconds by default. You can configure the amount of time the
authenticator waits for a response.
To terminate the authentication process, use the following commands.
• Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive supplicant.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x supplicant-timeout seconds
The range is from 1 to 300.
The default is 30.
• Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive authentication server.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x server-timeout seconds
The range is from 1 to 300.
The default is 30.
Example of Viewing Configured Server Timeouts
The example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator terminates the
authentication process for an unresponsive supplicant or server after 15 seconds.
