dot1xSuppHeldPeriod

Module: IEEE8021-PAE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xSuppHeldPeriod

OID (numeric): 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: The value, in seconds, of the heldPeriod constant currently in use by the Supplicant PAE state machine (8.5.8.1.2).

What is dot1xSuppHeldPeriod?

This object defines how long (in seconds) the 802.1X supplicant on a device remains in the held state before attempting authentication again. This timeout value controls backoff behavior after failed authentication attempts. Smaller values allow faster retry, while larger values reduce authentication traffic during widespread authentication failures.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xSuppHeldPeriod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xSuppHeldPeriod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.2.1 i <value>
