request

Function

The request command sets the timeout period for the BRAS to wait for an EAP-Response/Identity packet from the client during authentication and the number of retransmissions of EAP-Request/Identity packets.

The undo request command restores the default settings.

By default, the timeout period for the BRAS to wait for an EAP-Response/Identity packet from the client is 30 seconds and the number of retransmissions of EAP-Request/Identity packets is 2.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

During 802.1X authentication, the BRAS sends an EAP-Request/Identity packet to the client. If the client does not respond with an EAP-Response/Identity packet after the timeout period elapses, the BRAS can repeatedly send EAP-Request/Identity packets to the client. To set the number of and timeout period for EAP-Request/Identity packet retransmissions, run the request command. If the client does not respond with an EAP-Response/Identity packet after packet retransmissions reach the specified number, the user is logged out.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.
