The undo dot1x handshake command disables the device from sending handshake packets to online 802.1X users.

Usage Guidelines

To learn the status of 802.1X users in real time, you can run the dot1x handshake command to enable the device to send handshake request packets to online 802.1X users. If a user sends a response packet within the handshake interval (configured using the dot1x timer command), the device considers that the user is online. If a user does not send any response packet within the handshake interval, the device considers that the user is offline.

If a client does not support the handshake function, the device will not receive handshake response packets within the handshake interval and considers that the user is offline. Therefore, disable the device from sending handshake packets to an online 802.1X user when the user's client does not support the handshake function.

After the dot1x timer arp-detect arp-detect-value command is executed to configure ARP probing, the handshake function between the device and online 802.1X users does not take effect.
