What is dot1xAuthMaxReq?

Sets how many times the Backend Authentication state machine will retransmit an EAP request to the Supplicant before giving up, defaulting to 2; this deprecated object is superseded by newer retry controls but some switches still expose it for tuning retry tolerance on flaky links.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthMaxReq

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthMaxReq.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.11.1 i <value>
