Chapter 10 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Understanding IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Authentication Manager CLI Commands
The authentication-manager interface-configuration commands control all the authentication methods,
such as 802.1x, MAC authentication bypass, and web authentication. The authentication manager
commands determine the priority and order of authentication methods applied to a connected host.
The authentication manager commands control generic authentication features, such as host-mode,
violation mode, and the authentication timer. Generic authentication commands include the
authentication host-mode, authentication violation, and authentication timer interface
configuration commands.
802.1x-specific commands begin with the dot1x keyword. For example, the authentication
port-control auto interface configuration command enables authentication on an interface. However,
the dot1x system-authentication control global configuration command only globally enables or
disables 802.1x authentication.
Note If 802.1x authentication is globally disabled, other authentication methods are still enabled on that port,
such as web authentication.
The authentication manager commands provide the same functionality as earlier 802.1x commands.

Enable the inaccessible-authentication-bypass
feature.
Specify an active VLAN as an 802.1x guest
VLAN.
authentication fallback
fallback-profile dot1x fallback fallback-profile Configure a port to use web authentication as a
fallback method for clients that do not support
802.1x authentication.
authentication host-mode
[multi-auth | multi-domain |
multi-host | single-host] dot1x host-mode {single-host |
multi-host | multi-domain} Allow a single host (client) or multiple hosts on
an 802.1x-authorized port.

authentication periodic dot1x reauthentication Enable periodic re-authentication of the client.
authentication port-control {auto
| force-authorized | force-un
authorized} dot1x port-control {auto |
