config 802.1x init
Purpose Used to initialize the 802.1x function on a range
of ports or a list of MAC addresses.
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.
<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 requesting 802.1x initialization. MAC
addresses approved for initialization can then
be added to a list of approved MAC addresses.
Request for 802.1x initialization is approved
only for devices with a MAC address that
matches one from the list. Additional restrictions
