Setting the quiet timer
The quiet timer enables the access device to wait a period of time before it can process any authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X authentication.
You can edit the quiet timer, depending on the network conditions.
In a vulnerable network, set the quiet timer to a high value.
In a high-performance network with quick authentication response, set the quiet timer to a low value.
