(Optional) Configuring the Quiet Function in 802.1X Authentication
Context
After the quiet function is enabled, when the number of times that a user fails 802.1X authentication reaches the maximum number allowed, the device quiets the user, and during the quiet period, the device discards the 802.1X authentication requests from the user. This prevents the impact of frequent user authentications on the system.
When the number of quiet entries reaches the maximum number, the device does not allow new users who are not in the quiet table to access the network.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.

- (Optional) Run dot1x quiet-times fail-times

By default, an 802.1X user enters the quiet state after ten authentication failures within 60 seconds.
