The dot1x quiet-period command enables the quiet timer function.
The undo dot1x quiet-period command disables the quiet timer function.
By default, the quiet timer function is enabled.
Usage Scenario
After the quiet timer function is enabled, if the number of authentication failures of an 802.1X user exceeds a specified value (set using the dot1x quiet-times command) within 60 seconds, the user enters a quiet period. During the quiet period, the device discards the 802.1X authentication request packets from the user. This prevents the impact on the system due to frequent user authentication.
The value of the quiet timer is set using the dot1x timer command. When the quiet timer expires, the device re-authenticates the user.
Precautions
To make the configuration take effect, run the dot1x enable command twice to enable global and interface-based 802.1X user authentication.
