authentication protocol. The no prefix will disable the command and allow the
authentication client to use the standard 802.1x authentication protocol.
Command: Global Mode.
Default: Private 802.1x authentication packet format is disabled by default.
Usage Guide: To implement integrated solution, the switch must be enabled to use
private 802.1x protocol, or many applications will not be able to function. For detailed
information, please refer to DCBI integrated solution. If the switch forces the
authentication client to use private 802.1x protocol, the standard client will not be able to
work.
Example: To force the authentication client to use private 802.1x authentication protocol.
Switch(config)#dot1x privateclient enable
25.18 dot1x re-authenticate
Command: dot1x re-authenticate [interface <interface-name>]
Function: Enables real-time 802.1x re-authentication (no wait timeout requires) for all
ports or a specified port.
Parameters: <interface-name> stands for port number, omitting the parameter for all
ports.
Command mode: Global Mode.
Usage Guide: This command is a Global Mode command. It makes the switch to
re-authenticate the client at once without waiting for re-authentication timer timeout. This
command is no longer valid after authentication.
Example: Enabling real-time re-authentication on port1/8.
Switch(config)#dot1x re-authenticate interface ethernet 1/8
25.19 dot1x re-authentication
Command: dot1x re-authentication
no dot1x re-authentication
Function: Enables periodical supplicant authentication; the ―no dot1x re-authentication‖
command disables this function.
Command mode: Global Mode.
Default: Periodical re-authentication is disabled by default.
Usage Guide: When periodical re-authentication for supplicant is enabled, the switch will
re-authenticate the supplicant at regular interval. This function is not recommended for
common use.
