Command Usage

• 802.1X port authentication and port security cannot be configured together on

the same port. Only one of these security mechanisms can be applied.

• 802.1X port authentication cannot be configured on trunk ports. In other

words, a static trunk or dynamically configured trunk cannot be set to auto or
force-unauthorized mode.

• When 802.1X authentication is enabled on a port, the MAC address learning

function for this interface is disabled, and the addresses dynamically learned
on this port are removed.

• Authenticated MAC addresses are stored as dynamic entries in the switch’s

secure MAC address table. Configured static MAC addresses are added to
the secure address table when seen on a switch port. Static addresses are
treated as authenticated without sending a request to a RADIUS server.

• When port status changes to down, all MAC addresses are cleared from the

secure MAC address table. Static VLAN assignments are not restored.

Example

This command allows single or multiple hosts (clients) to connect to an
802.1X-authorized port. Use the no form with no keywords to restore the default to
single host. Use the no form with the multi-host max-count keywords to restore the
default maximum count.
