400 CHAPTER 39: 802.1X CONFIGURATION
c
CAUTION:
■ 802.1x-related configurations can all be performed in system view. Port access
control mode and port access method can also be configured in port view.
■ If you perform a configuration in system view and do not specify the
interface-list argument, the configuration applies to all ports. Configurations
performed in Ethernet port view apply to the current Ethernet port only and
the interface-list argument is not needed in this case.
■ 802.1x configurations take effect only after you enable 802.1x both globally
and for specified ports.
■ Changing the access control method on a port by the dot1x port-method
command will forcibly log out the online 802.1x users on the port.
■ You can set 802.1x re-authentication timer on the switch either by using the
dot1x reauth-period command or through the RADIUS server. Upon
receiving an Access-Accept packet, with Termination-Action attribute value set
to 1, from the server, the switch performs authentication at an interval of the
session-timeout value of the Access-Accept packet. In actual authentication,
the switch uses the latest time value obtained as the authentication interval.
■ After re-authentication is enabled on a port, you cannot change the dynamic
VLAN delivery attribute value for the port; if you do so, the re-authentication
will cause users to be offline.
Enable 802.1x for
specified ports
Use the following command in
system view:
dot1x [ interface interface-list ]
Required
By default, 802.1x is disabled for
all ports.
Use the following command in
port view:
dot1x
Set port access
control mode for
specified ports
dot1x
port-control { authorized-force
| unauthorized-force | auto }
[ interface interface-list ]
Optional
By default, an 802.1x-enabled port
operates in an auto mode.
Set port access
method for specified
ports
dot1x
port-method { macbased |
portbased } [ interface
interface-list ]
Optional
The default port access method is
MAC-address-based (that is, the
macbased keyword is used by
default).
Set authentication
method for 802.1x
users
dot1x
authentication-method { chap
| pap | eap }
Optional
By default, a switch performs
CHAP authentication in EAP
terminating mode.
Enable 802.1x
re-authentication
In system view:
dot1x re-authenticate
[ interface interface-list ]
In port view:
dot1x re-authenticate
Optional
By default, 802.1x
re-authentication is disabled on all
ports.
