Description
■ Use the dot1x port-method command to configure the base for 802.1x to

■ Use the undo dot1x port-method command to restore the default access

accessed users can still use network service. When

the first access user by this interface can be authenticated successfully, the other
access users followed can be considered authenticated successfully automatically,
but if the first one finish the network service , the other accessed users’ network
service will be rejected . .

is specified. The parameter interface-list cannot be input when the command is
executed in Ethernet interface view and it has effect only on the current interface.
