Function:

Enables the EAP relay authentication function in the switch; the “no dot1x eapor enable” command sets EAP local

end authentication.

Command mode:

Global Mode.

Default:

EAP relay authentication is used by default.

Usage Guide:

The switch and RADIUS may be connected via Ethernet or PPP. If an Ethernet connection exists between the switch

and RADIUS server, the switch needs to authenticate the user by EAP relay (EAPoR authentication); if the switch

connects to the RADIUS server by PPP, the switch will use EAP local end authentication (CHAP authentication). The

switch should use different authentication methods according to the connection between the switch and the

authentication server.

Example:

Setting EAP local end authentication for the switch.

Switch(config)#no dot1x eapor enable

Command:

Function:

Enables the 802.1x function in the switch and ports: the "no dot1x enable" command disables the 802.1x function.

Default:

802.1x function is not enabled in global mode by default; if 802.1x is enabled under Global Mode, 802.1x will not be

enabled for the ports by default.
