The unicast trigger function is used for clients that cannot initiate authentication unsolicitedly and is 

suitable for networks not requiring all the clients to be authenticated. Therefore, it is recommended to 

disable the multicast trigger function when the unicast trigger function is enabled, so as to avoid sending 

authentication packets to authenticated clients or clients requiring no authentication.  

 

With a mandatory authentication domain specified for a port, the system uses the mandatory 

authentication domain for authentication, authorization, and accounting of all 802.1X users on the port. 

Follow these steps to specify a mandatory authentication domain for a port: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter Ethernet interface view 

interface interface-type 
interface-number 

— 

Specify a mandatory 
authentication domain for the 
port 

dot1x mandatory-domain 
domain-name 

Required 

Not specified by default 

 

After the quiet timer is enabled on the device, when a client fails 802.1X authentication, the device 

refuses further authentication requests from the client in a period of time, which is specified by the quiet 

timer (using the dot1x timer quiet-period command). 

Follow these steps to enable the quiet timer: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enable the quiet timer 

dot1x quiet-period 

Required 

Disabled by default 

 

If periodic re-authentication is enabled on a port, the device will re-authenticate online users on the port 

at the interval specified by the periodic re-authentication timer. This is intended to track the connection 

status of online users and update the authorization attributes assigned by the server, such as the ACL, 

VLAN, and QoS Profile, ensuring that the users are in normal online state. 

Follow these steps to enable the periodic re-authentication function:
