Chapter 10 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication

Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication

To disable and remove the restricted VLAN, use the no dot1x auth-fail vlan interface configuration
command. The port returns to the unauthorized state.

This example shows how to enable VLAN 2 as an IEEE 802.1x restricted VLAN:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/2

Switch(config-if)# dot1x auth-fail vlan 2

You can configure the maximum number of authentication attempts allowed before a user is assigned to
the restricted VLAN by using the dot1x auth-fail max-attempts interface configuration command. The
range of allowable authentication attempts is 1 to 3. The default is 3 attempts.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum number of allowed
authentication attempts. This procedure is optional.

Step 4

authentication port-control auto

dot1x port-control auto

Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on the port.

Step 5

dot1x auth-fail vlan vlan-id

Specify an active VLAN as an IEEE 802.1x restricted VLAN. The range
is 1 to 4094.

You can configure any active VLAN except an internal VLAN (routed
port), an RSPAN VLAN, a primary private VLAN, or a voice VLAN as
an IEEE 802.1x restricted VLAN.

Step 6

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

show authentication interface-id

show dot1x interface interface-id

(Optional) Verify your entries.

Step 8

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
