option 4-way-handshake resend

Use option 4-way-handshake resend to set the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet and the retransmission interval.

Use undo option 4-way-handshake resend to restore the default.

Syntax

option 4-way-handshake resend max-count [ interval interval ]

undo option 4-way-handshake resend

Default

The maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet is three, and the retransmission interval is 300 milliseconds.

network-admin

Parameters

resend max-count: Specifies the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet, in the range of 0 to 3.

interval interval: Specifies the retransmission interval in the range of 200 to 500 milliseconds.

Usage guidelines

In Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) authentication, an AP and a client use EAPOL-Key packets in the four-way handshake to negotiate the keys. After that, the AP and the client periodically exchange EAPOL-Key packets to update the keys.

During key negotiation or update, the AP keeps retransmitting an EAPOL-Key packet until a response is received or the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet is reached.

The system starts to count the retries when the maximum number of retransmissions is reached.

To ensure successful RSN key negotiation or update, you can increase the maximum number of retransmissions and the maximum number of retries for an EAPOL-Key packet.

For more information about RSN key negotiation or update, see "Configuring WLAN security."

Examples

# In service template view, set the maximum number of retransmissions for an EAPOL-Key packet to one and the retransmission interval to 400 milliseconds.
