dot1x supplicant-detection
Sets the behavior when a new terminal is detected after the terminal authentication mode
has been set to an authentication submode.
Syntax
To set or change information:
dot1x supplicant-detection {disable | shortcut | auto}
To delete information:
no dot1x supplicant-detection
Input mode
(config-if)
Parameters
{disable | shortcut | auto}
Specifies the behavior when a new terminal is detected after terminal authentication
submode has been set for authentication.
disable
If there is a terminal that was detected on the applicable port, this parameter
suppresses EAP-Request/Identity transmission processing for detecting a
new terminal when the authentication submode is set to terminal
authentication mode. Specify this parameter if a supplicant operates
abnormally if the authentication sequence is omitted in order to decrease
switch load.
If this parameter is specified, authentication processing for a supplicant for
which authentication cannot be initiated from the terminal cannot be started.
shortcut
Sends EAP-Request/Identity packets regularly in multicast routing for
detecting a new terminal when the authentication submode is set to terminal
authentication mode. Also, to reduce the load, the authentication sequence of
an authenticated terminal is omitted. Specify this parameter for a supplicant
that is unable to initiate authentication from a terminal.
If this parameter is specified, some supplicants might not operate correctly
and communication is temporarily stopped.
auto
Suppresses EAP-Request/Identity transmission processing for detecting a
new terminal when the authentication submode is set to terminal
authentication mode, and sends EAP-Request/Identity packets in unicast
routing when an ARP/IP frame is received from a new terminal.
1. Default value when this parameter is omitted:
This parameter cannot be omitted.
2. Range of values:
disable, shortcut, and auto
Default behavior
shortcut is used as the operation when a new terminal is detected.
