Protocol Tab
The Protocol tab configures parameters that apply to all the networks the selected port connects to.
Field
Description
Protocol Settings
These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1X standard. They determine how 
long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldn’t be modified 
without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about the supplicant 
state machine, obtain its 802.1X protocol specification. 
The parameters are:
Authentication Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or acquired 
state without receiving a response from the AP or switch. 
Held Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing authentication. 
Start Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting when 
there is no response. 
Number of Start Attempts - The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that point, 
the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network connectivity because 
the protocol exchange was never completed.
Display EAP 
notifications
Specifies that the EAPOL notification message will be displayed to the user. An authenticator may 
use such notification to inform you, for example, about a near password expiration. However, some 
authenticators send chatty and annoying notifications that may, for the convenience of the user, be 
suppressed. Note that all notifications are written to the event log even if they are not displayed.
Renew IP address
Initiates a DHCP request to obtain a dynamic IP address after a successful authentication, but only if 
the client detects that the connected network (the SSID) has changed. The result is that renewal 
should not occur upon re-authentication, but does occur at boot or when connecting to a different net-
work. 
If you have a slow authenticator, you may wish to enable this option when configuring the service 
because a slow authenticator may prevent you from getting a DHCP-assigned IP address upon boot-
up. This option is ignored if the given adapter has a static IP address.
