dot1x re-authenticate
This command forces re-authentication on all ports or a specific interface.
Syntax
dot1x re-authenticate [interface]
interface
ethernet unit/port
unit - Unit identifier. (Range: 1)
port - Port number. (Range: 1-12)
Command Mode
Privileged Exec
Command Usage
The re-authentication process verifies the connected client’s user ID and password on the RADIUS
server. During re-authentication, the client remains connected the network and the process is
handled transparently by the dot1x client software. Only if re-authentication fails is the port
blocked.
Example
Console#dot1x re-authenticate
Console#
dot1x identity profile
This command sets the dot1x supplicant user name and password. Use the no form to delete the
identity settings.
Syntax
dot1x identity profile {username username | password password}
no dot1x identity profile {username | password}
username - Specifies the supplicant user name. (Range: 1-8 characters)
password - Specifies the supplicant password. (Range: 1-8 characters)
Default

Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
The global supplicant user name and password are used to identify this switch as a supplicant
when responding to an MD5 challenge from the authenticator. These parameters must be set
when this switch passes client authentication requests to another authenticator on the network
(see the dot1x pae supplicant command on page 184).
