Parameters

seconds
Specifies the time between failed reauthentication and reauthentication attempt. Valid values range from 1 through 65535 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Changing the quiet-period interval time to a number lower than the default can result in a faster response time.

The no dot1x quiet-period command restores the default setting.

Examples

The following example sets the idle time as 200 seconds for the device before attempting reauthentication after an authentication failure.

device(config)# interface Ethernet 1/1
device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# dot1x quiet-period 200
