Configuring 802.1X Authentication
10-14 SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide
10.3.2 Configuring 802.1X Authentication
Purpose
To review and configure 802.1X authentication for one or more ports using EAPOL (Extensible
Authentication Protocol). 802.1X controls network access by enforcing user authorization on
selected ports, which results in allowing or denying network access according to RADIUS server
configuration.
Commands
The commands used to review and configure 802.1X are listed below and described in the
associated section as shown:
• show dot1x (Section 10.3.2.1)
• show dot1x auth-config (Section 10.3.2.2)
• set dot1x (Section 10.3.2.3)
• set dot1x auth-config (Section 10.3.2.4)
• clear dot1x auth-config (Section 10.3.2.5)
• show eapol (Section 10.3.2.6)
• set eapol (Section 10.3.2.7)
• clear eapol (Section 10.3.2.8)
NOTES: One user per EAPOL-configured port can be authenticated on SecureStack A2 devices.
To configure EAP pass-through, which allows client authentication packets to be forwarded
through the SecureStack switch to an upstream device, 802.1X authentication must be globally
disabled with the set dot1x command (Section 10.3.2.3).
