Function
The mac-authen timer quiet-period command configures the quiet period for MAC address authentication users who fail to be authenticated.
The undo mac-authen timer quiet-period command restores the default quiet period.

Value |
|---|---|---|
quiet-period-value |
Sets the quiet period for MAC address authentication users who fail to be authenticated. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 3600, in seconds. NOTE:
If the value of quiet-period-value is 0, the quiet function is disabled for MAC address authentication users. |
Usage Guidelines
If a MAC address 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, if the number of times that a MAC address authentication user fails to be authenticated within 60s exceeds the upper limit (configured using the mac-authen quiet-times command), the device discards the user's MAC address authentication request packets for a period to avoid frequent authentication failures.
The quiet function for MAC address authentication users takes effect only after the pre-connection function is disabled using the undo authentication pre-authen-access enable command and the device is disabled from assigning network access rights to users in each phase before authentication succeeds using the undo authentication event action authorize command. In multi-mode authentication of MAC address authentication users, the quiet function for MAC address authentication users does not take effect.
