specifies the type of a port and interface-num identifies the port number. "&<1-10>"
means that up to 10 port indexes/port index lists can be provided,
Description
Use the dot1x command to enable 802.1x globally or for specified Ethernet ports.
Use the undo dot1x command to disable 802.1x globally or for specified Ethernet
ports.
By default, 802.1x is disabled globally and also on all ports
When being executed in system view, the dot1x command enables 802.1x globally if
you do not provide the interface-list argument. And if you specify the interface-list
argument, the command enables 802.1x for the specified Ethernet ports. When being
executed in Ethernet port view, this command enables 802.1x for the current Ethernet
port only. In this case, the interface-list argument is not needed.
You can perform 802.1x-related configurations (globally or on specified ports) either
before or after 802.1x is enabled. If you do not previously perform other 802.1x-related
configurations when enabling 802.1x globally, the switch adopts the default 802.1x
settings.
802.1x-related configurations take effect on a port only after 802.1x is enabled both
globally and on the port.
Configurations of 8021.x and the maximum number of MAX addresses that can be
learnt are mutually exclusive. This means that when 802.1x is enabled for a port, it
cannot also have the maximum number of MAX addresses to be learned configured at
the same time. And if you configure the maximum number of MAX addresses that can
be learnt for a port, 802.1x is unavailable to it.
Related command: display dot1x.
