Usage Guidelines

If an 802.1X authentication user fails to be authenticated consecutively within a short period, the system is affected and a large number of duplicated authentication failure logs are generated.

After the quiet function is enabled using the dot1x quiet-period command, if the number of times that an 802.1X user fails to be authenticated within 60s exceeds the upper limit (configured using the dot1x quiet-times command), the device discards the user's 802.1X authentication request packets for a period to avoid frequent authentication failures.

Example

# Set the quiet period to 100 seconds for 802.1X users who fail to be authenticated.
