◆ When devices attached to a port must submit requests to another
authenticator on the network, configure the identity profile parameters
(see dot1x identity profile command on page 627 ) which identify this
switch as a supplicant, and enable dot1x supplicant mode for those
ports which must authenticate clients through a remote authenticator
using this command. In this mode the port will not respond to dot1x
messages meant for an authenticator.
◆ This switch can be configured to serve as the authenticator on selected
ports by setting the control mode to “auto” (see the dot1x port-control
command on page 623 ), and as a supplicant on other ports by the
setting the control mode to “force-authorized” and enabling dot1x
supplicant mode with this command.
