User Guidelines
Change the value of the supplicant timeout only to adjust for unusual
circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with
certain clients and authentication servers. The default timeout value is set
per IEEE 802.1x.
This value is used in conjunction with the dot1x timeout server-timeout
command to limit the amount of time a supplicant can remain in a pending
authentication state.
Example
console(config-if-Gi1/0/1)#dot1x timeout supp-timeout 60
