Command Usage

• The “max-count” parameter specified by this command is only effective if the

dot1x mode is set to “auto” by the dot1x port-control command
(page 4-146).

• In “multi-host” mode, only one host connected to a port needs to pass

authentication for all other hosts to be granted network access. Similarly, a
port can become unauthorized for all hosts if one attached host fails
re-authentication or sends an EAPOL logoff message.

Example

dot1x re-authenticate

This command forces re-authentication on all ports or a specific interface.

Syntax

dot1x re-authenticate [interface]

interface

ethernet unit/port

- unit - Stack unit. (Range: 1)
- port - Port number. (Range: 1-28/52)

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Command Usage

The re-authentication process verifies the connected client’s user ID and
password on the RADIUS server. During re-authentication, the client remains
connected the network and the process is handled transparently by the dot1x
client software. Only if re-authentication fails is the port blocked or the user
assigned to the Guest VLAN (see dot1x intrusion-action on page 4-151).

Example

Console(config)#interface eth 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x operation-mode multi-host max-count 10
Console(config-if)#

Console#dot1x re-authenticate
