When this device is functioning as intermediate node in the network

and does not need to perform dot1x authentication, the dot1x eapol

pass-through command can be used to forward EAPOL frames from

other switches on to the authentication servers, thereby allowing the

authentication process to still be carried out by switches located on the

edge of the network.

When this device is functioning as an edge switch but does not require

any attached clients to be authenticated, the no dot1x eapol-pass-

through command can be used to discard unnecessary EAPOL traffic.

E

XAMPLE

This example instructs the switch to pass all EAPOL frame through to any

ports in STP forwarding state.
