512 802.1X Management Commands
NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
History Introduced in WSS Software 1.0.
Usage To support SSIDs that have both 802.1X and static WEP clients, WSS Software sends a maximum of
two ID requests, even if this parameter is set to a higher value. Setting the parameter to a higher value does
affect all other types of EAP messages.
Examples Type the following command to set the maximum number of EAP request retransmissions to
three attempts:
WSS# set dot1x max-req 3
success: dot1x max request set to 3.

Determines the 802.1X authentication behavior on individual wired authentication ports or groups of ports.

Defaults By default, wired authentication ports are set to auto.
