802.1X Supplicant Commands
HP Moonshot Switch Module supports 802.1X (“dot1x”) supplicant functionality on point-to-point ports. The
administrator can configure the user name and password used in authentication and capabilities of the
supplicant port.
dot1x pae
This command sets the port’s dot1x role. The port can serve as either a supplicant or an authenticator.
dot1x supplicant port-control
This command sets the ports authorization state (Authorized or Unauthorized) either manually or by setting
the port to auto-authorize upon startup. By default all the ports are authenticators. If the port’s attribute needs
to be moved from <authenticator to supplicant> or <supplicant to authenticator>, use this command.
no dot1x supplicant port-control
This command sets the port-control mode to the default, auto.
