Port Authentication (802.1X) Commands
The 802.1X Port Authentication commands are:
• dot1x authentication (Configuration)
• dot1x authentication (Interface)
• dot1x auth-fail-vlan
• dot1x auth-server
• dot1x guest-vlan
• dot1x mac-auth-bypass
• dot1x max-eap-req
• dot1x port-control
• dot1x quiet-period
• dot1x reauthentication
• dot1x reauth-max
• dot1x server-timeout
• dot1x supplicant-timeout
• dot1x tx-period
• show dot1x interface
An authentication server must authenticate a client connected to an 802.1X switch port. Until the
authentication, only EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) traffic is allowed through
the port to which a client is connected. Once authentication is successful, normal traffic passes through
the port.
FTOS supports RADIUS and Active Directory environments using 802.1X Port Authentication.
