Displaying 802.1X statistics
To display 802.1X statistics for an individual port, enter a command such as the following
TABLE 147 Output from the show dot1x config command for an interface
This field... Displays...
Authenticator PAE state The current status of the Authenticator PAE state machine. This
can be INITIALIZE, DISCONNECTED, CONNECTING,
AUTHENTICATING, AUTHENTICATED, ABORTING, HELD,
FORCE_AUTH, or FORCE_UNAUTH.
NOTE: When the Authenticator PAE state machine is in the
AUTHENTICATING state, if the reAuthenticate, eapStart,
eapLogoff, or authTimeout parameters are set to TRUE, it
may place the Authenticator PAE state machine indefinitely
in the ABORTING state. If this should happen, use the dot1x
initialize command to initialize 802.1X port security on the
port, or unplug the Client or hub connected to the port, then
reconnect it.
Backend Authentication state The current status of the Backend Authentication state machine.
This can be REQUEST, RESPONSE, SUCCESS, FAIL, TIMEOUT, IDLE,
or INITIALIZE.
AdminControlledDirections Indicates whether an unauthorized controlled port exerts control
over communication in both directions (disabling both reception of
incoming frames and transmission of outgoing frames), or just in
the incoming direction (disabling only reception of incoming
frames). On Dell devices, this parameter is set to BOTH.
OperControlledDirections The setting for the OperControlledDirections parameter, as defined
in the 802.1X standard. According to the 802.1X standard, if the
AdminControlledDirections parameter is set to BOTH, the
OperControlledDirections parameter is unconditionally set to BOTH.
Since the AdminControlledDirections parameter on Dell devices is
always set to BOTH, the OperControlledDirections parameter is also
set to BOTH.
AuthControlledPortControl The port control type configured for the interface. If set to auto,
authentication is activated on the 802.1X-enabled interface.
AuthControlledPortStatus The current status of the interface controlled port either authorized
or unauthorized.
multiple-hosts Whether the port is configured to allow multiple Supplicants
accessing the interface on the Dell device through a hub.
Refer to “Allowing access to multiple hosts” on page 949 for
information on how to change this setting.
