Configuring an Authentication-Fail VLAN
If the supplicant fails authentication, the authenticator re-attempts to authenticate after a specified amount of
time (30 seconds by default, see Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed Authentication on page 114). You
can configure the maximum number of times the authenticator re-attempts authentication after a failure (3 by
default), after which the port is placed in the Authentication-fail VLAN.
Configure a port to be placed in the VLAN after failing the authentication process as specified number of
times using the command
dot1x auth-fail-vlan from INTERFACE mode, as shown in Figure 7-13. Configure
the maximum number of authentication attempts by the authenticator using the keyword
max-attempts with
this command.
Figure 7-13. Configuring an Authentication-fail VLAN
View your configuration using the command show config from INTERFACE mode, as shown in
Figure 7-12, or using the command
show dot1x interface command from EXEC Privilege mode as shown in
Figure 7-14.
