Hi Jolyon/Patrick,

I increased the times for the following attributes and set the uplink to 
forced-auth.

set dot1x auth-config quietperiod from 3600 to 65535
set dot1x auth-config txperiod from 3600 to 65535
set dot1x auth-config reauthperiod from 3600 to 65535


set dot1x auth-config supptimeout 300 this is the same the highest time.
set dot1x auth-config servertimeout 300 this also the highest value.

Port            : fe.1.25        Station address   : 00-01-e3-23-cf-a6
Auth status     : in progress    Last attempt      : SAT NOV 05 12:31:21 2011
Agent type      : dot1x          Session applied   : false
Server type     : radius         VLAN-Tunnel-Attr  : None
Policy index    : 0              Policy name       : No policy applied
Session timeout : 3610           Session duration  : 0,00:00:00
Idle timeout    : 300            Idle time         : 0,00:00:00
Termination time: Not Terminated


Port            : fe.1.25        Station address   : 00-01-e3-23-cf-a6
Auth status     : success        Last attempt      : SAT NOV 05 12:31:21 2011
Agent type      : mac            Session applied   : true
Server type     : radius         VLAN-Tunnel-Attr  : None
--More-- <space> next page, <cr> one line, <q> quit
Policy index    : 0              Policy name       : No policy applied
Session timeout : 3600           Session duration  : 0,00:26:19
Idle timeout    : 300            Idle time         : 0,00:00:00
Termination time: Not Terminated

However the NIC continues to attempt authentication every 15-30 seconds.

Pheko,

On our edge network C-chassis’ we use:

#eapol
set dot1x enable
set dot1x auth-config reauthenabled true reauthperiod 7200 ge.1.1
set dot1x auth-config reauthperiod 14400 ge.1.21

where ge.1.1 is one of many edge ports and where ge.1.21 is an underlying 
member of a LAG that goes to the core network.

We can see this by “show conf eapol”.

This will (read: may) slow your prompts for reauthentication.

You may also need to refer to your N-chassis CLI guide for the correct commands 
and usage.

Sincerely,

Jolyon Ansuz

This is exactly what we are experiencing the re-auth times are between 15 and 
30 seconds.
The firmware is on DFE-G-06.12.08.0003 upgraded today I’d appreciate the work 
around.

Pheko,

We dealt with this about a year ago, I was digging and trying to remember what 
we did to fix it. First off, I would make sure the firmware is up-to-date. The 
issue we had though was EAP packets hitting the ports on the switch and causing 
any attached PC’s to re-authenticate. The timing was about every 30 seconds, 
which sounds similar to what you are seeing. Might want to give that a look.

Hi

Please advice, we have enabled dot1x on an N3 DFE-G-06.12.08.0003

The NIC keeps reseting as the pics below, any remedy to this as we has set 
re-auth to be false yet this continues.
A minute later
