Chapter 6: Configuring Authentication and Role Derivation
Initializing the 802.1x Port
Use the aaa dot1x initialize command in Privileged Exec mode to begin the initialization
sequence on the specified port. This command is only valid if the control mode for the
specified port is 'auto'. If the control mode is not 'auto' an error will be returned.
aaa dot1x initialize slot/port
The following example is representative of the command:
(SafeGuardOS) #configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #interface 0/5
(SafeGuardOS) (interface 0/5) #aaa dot1x initialize 0/5
(SafeGuardOS) (interface 0/5) #
Reauthenticating the 802.1x Port
User the aaa dot1x re-authenticate command in Privileged Exec mode to begin the re-
authentication sequence on the specified port. This command is only valid if the control
mode for the specified port is 'auto'. If the control mode is not 'auto' an error will be
returned.
aaa dot1x re-authenticate slot/port
The following example is representative of the command:
(SafeGuardOS) #configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #interface 0/5
(SafeGuardOS) (interface 0/5) #aaa dot1x re-authenticate 0/5
(SafeGuardOS) (interface 0/5) #
Configuring the Maximum Authentications for the 802.1x Port
Use the aaa dot1x max-req command in interface configuration mode to set the
maximum number of times the authenticator state machine on a port will transmit an
EAPOL EAP Request/Identity frame before timing out the supplicant. Use the no form of
the command to set the maximum number to the default.
aaa dot1x max-req count
slot/port Port on which to begin initialization sequence. The slot number is 0.
slot/port Port on which to begin re-authentication sequence. The slot
number is 0.
