Name:
Max Start Requests
Cloudpath Help :
Cloudpath can detect the Max Start Requests setting, which specifies the maximum number of EAPOL-Start messages the supplicant will send before assuming the network is not 802.1X. On Vista and greater, this setting is supported for wired and wireless. For XP, it is supported on SP3+ for wired interfaces. It is not supported on XP SP3 wireless nor XP SP2.

Supported settings include:
Configured - Default. This setting is considered configured if the Max Start Requests setting is set to the specified value.

Cloudpath is able to auto remediate this setting.
By default, Windows Vista and greater will send 3 EAPOL-Start messages.

NOTE: On XP SP2 (wired or wireless) and XP SP3 wireless, this setting will be ignored.
