Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode

During the quiet period, the switch does not accept or initiate any 

authentication requests. 
Change the default value of this command only to adjust for unusual 

circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with 

certain clients and authentication servers.
To provide a faster response time to the user, enter a smaller number than the 

default. 

The following example sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in 

the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange to 3600.

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g16

console(config-if-1/g16)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 

3600

Use the dot1x timeout re-authperiod command in Interface Configuration 

mode to set the number of seconds between re-authentication attempts. To 

return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
