Chapter 40 Configuring 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
This example shows how to enable 802.1X fallback to MAB, and then to enable web-based
authentication, on an 802.1X-enabled port:
Switch(config)# ip admission name rule1 proxy http
Switch(config)# fallback profile fallback1
Switch(config-fallback-profile)# ip access-group default-policy in
Switch(config-fallback-profile)# ip admission rule1
Switch(config-fallback-profile)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabit5/9
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# authentication port-control auto
Switch(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
Switch(config-if)# authentication order dot1x mab webauth
Switch(config-if)# mab eap
Switch(config-if)# authentication fallback fallback1
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# ip device tracking
Switch(config)# exit
To determine if a host was authenticated using 802.1X when fallback authentication is configured on the
port, enter the following commands:
Switch# show authentication sessions interface g7/2
Interface: GigabitEthernet7/2
MAC Address: 0060.b057.4687
IP Address: Unknown
User-Name: test2
Status: Authz Success
Domain: DATA
Oper host mode: multi-auth
Oper control dir: both
Authorized By: Authentication Server
Vlan Policy: N/A
Session timeout: N/A
Idle timeout: N/A
Common Session ID: C0A8013F0000000901BAB560
Acct Session ID: 0x0000000B
Handle: 0xE8000009

Method State
dot1x Authc Success
mab Not run
Switch# show dot1x interfaces g7/2 detail
Step 15
Switch(config-if)# authentication timer restart
seconds
(Optional) Specifies a period after which the
authentication process restarts in an attempt to
authenticate an unauthorized port.
• seconds—Specifies the restart period. The range is
from 1 to 65535 seconds.
Step 16
Switch(config-if)# exit
Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 17
Switch(config)# ip device tracking
Enables the IP device tracking table, which is required for
web-based authentication.
Step 18
Switch(config)# exit
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 19
Switch# show dot1x interface type slot/port
