Configuring 802.1X and Port-Based Security 529
dot1x port-control
{force-authorized |
force-unauthorized |
auto | mac-based}
Specify the 802.1X mode for the port.
NOTE: For standard 802.1X implementations in which one
client is connected to one port, use the dot1x port-control
auto command to enable 802.1X authentication on the port.
• auto — Enables 802.1X authentication on the interface
and causes the port to transition to the authorized or
unauthorized state based on the 802.1X authentication
exchange between the switch and the client.
• force-authorized — Disables 802.1X authentication on
the interface and causes the port to transition to the
authorized state without any authentication exchange
required. The port sends and receives normal traffic
without 802.1X-based authentication of the client.
• force-unauthorized — Denies all access through this
interface by forcing the port to transition to the
unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to
authenticate. The switch cannot provide authentication
services to the client through the interface.
• mac-based — Enables 802.1X authentication on the
interface and allows multiple hosts to authenticate on a
single port. The hosts are distinguished by their MAC
addresses.
dot1x mac-auth-bypass If the 802.1X mode on the interface is mac-based, you can
optionally use this command to enable MAB on an
interface.
CTRL + Z Exit to Privileged EXEC mode.
