DGS-1510 Series Gigabit Ethernet SmartPro Switch CLI Reference Guide
29
Usage Guideline
The command is only available for physical port interface configuration. If no response to an
authentication request from the supplicant within the timeout period (specified by the dot1x timeout tx-
period SECONDS command) the Switch will retransmit the request. This command is used to specify the
number of retransmissions.
Example
This example shows how to configure the maximum number of retries on Ethernet port 1/0/1 to be 3.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface eth1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# dot1x max-req 3
Switch(config-if)#
3-8 dot1x pae authenticator
This command is used to configure a specific port as an IEEE 802.1X port access entity (PAE)
authenticator. Use the no form of this command to disable the port as an IEEE 802.1X authenticator.
dot1x pae authenticator
no dot1x pae authenticator
Parameters
None.
Default
By default, this option is disabled.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 12.
Usage Guideline
This command is only available for physical port interface configuration. Globally enable IEEE 802.1X
authentication on the Switch by using the dot1x system-auth-control command. When IEEE 802.1X
authentication is enabled, the system will authenticate the 802.1X user based on the method list
configured by the aaa authentication dot1x default command.
Example
This example shows how to configure Ethernet port 1/0/1 as an IEEE 802.1X PAE authenticator.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface eth1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
Switch(config-if)#
This example shows how to disable IEEE 802.1X authentication on Ethernet port 1/0/1.
