For more information about WoL, see the “Using IEEE 802.1x Authentication with Wake-on-LAN”
section in the “Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication” chapter in the software
configuration guide.

Examples

This example shows how to enable unidirectional control:

Switch(config-if)# dot1x control-direction in

This example shows how to enable bidirectional control:

Switch(config-if)# dot1x control-direction both

You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x all privileged EXEC command.

The show dot1x all privileged EXEC command output is the same for all switches except for the port
names and the state of the port. If a host is attached to the port but is not yet authenticated, a display
similar to this appears:

Supplicant MAC 0002.b39a.9275

AuthSM State = CONNECTING

BendSM State = IDLE

PortStatus = UNAUTHORIZED

both

Enable bidirectional control on port. The port cannot receive
packets from or send packets to the host.

in

Enable unidirectional control on port. The port can send packets to
the host but cannot receive packets from the host.
