config 802.1x init
Purpose Used to initialize the 802.1x function on a range of ports.
Syntax config 802.1x init [port_based ports [<portlist | all>] | mac_based [ports] [<portlist> | all]
{mac_address <macaddr}]
Description The config 802.1x init command is used to immediately initialize the 802.1x functions on a specified range of
ports or for specified MAC addresses operating from a specified range of ports.
Parameters port_based – This instructs the Switch to initialize 802.1x functions based only on the port number. Ports
approved for initialization can then be specified.
ports <portlist> – Specifies a range of ports.The port list is specified by listing the lowest switch
number and the beginning port number on that switch, separated by a colon.Then the highest
switch number, and the highest port number of the range (also separated by a colon) are specified.
The beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies
switch number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports
between switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4 – in numerical order.
all – Specifies all of the ports on the Switch
mac_based – This instructs the Switch to initialize 802.1x functions based on the MAC address of a device on a
specific port or range of ports. MAC address approved for initialization can then be specified.
ports <portlist> – Specifies a range of ports.The port list is specified by listing the lowest switch
number and the beginning port number on that switch, separated by a colon.Then the highest
switch number, and the highest port number of the range (also separated by a colon) are specified.
The beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies
switch number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports
between switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4 – in numerical order.
all – Specifies all of the ports on the Switch
mac_address<macaddr> – Specifies the MAC address of the client to be added.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
