Conguring Timeouts
If the supplicant or the authentication server is unresponsive, the authenticator terminates the authentication process after 30 seconds by
default. You can congure the amount of time the authenticator waits for a response.
To terminate the authentication process, use the following commands:
• Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive supplicant.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x supplicant-timeout seconds
The range is from 1 to 300.
The default is 30.
• Terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive authentication server.
INTERFACE mode
dot1x server-timeout seconds
The range is from 1 to 300.
The default is 30.
Example of Viewing Congured Server Timeouts
The example shows conguration information for a port for which the authenticator terminates the authentication process for an
unresponsive supplicant or server after 15 seconds.
The bold lines show the new supplicant and server timeouts.
