Purpose
Used to configure the 802.1X Authentication parameters on a range of ports. The default
parameter will return all ports in the specified range to their default 802.1X settings.
Syntax
config 802.1x auth_parameter ports [<portlist> | all] [default | {direction [both | in] | port_control
[force_unauth | auto | force_auth] | quiet_period <sec 0-65535> | tx_period <sec 1-65535> |
supp_timeout <sec 1-65535> | server_timeout <sec 1-65535> | max_req <value 1-10> |
reauth_period <sec 1-65535> | enable_reauth [enable | disable]}] (1)
Description
This command is used to configure the 802.1X Authentication parameters on a range of ports.
The default parameter will return all ports in the specified range to their default 802.1X settings.
Parameters
<portlist> − Specifies a port or range of ports to be configured.
all − Specifies all of the ports on the Switch.
default − Returns all of the ports in the specified range to their 802.1X default settings.
direction [both | in] − Determines whether a controlled port blocks communication in both the
receiving and transmitting directions, or just the receiving direction.
port_control − Configures the administrative control over the authentication process for the
range of ports. The user has the following authentication options:
force_auth − Forces the Authenticator for the port to become authorized. Network access is
allowed.
auto − Allows the port’s status to reflect the outcome of the authentication process.
force_unauth − Forces the Authenticator for the port to become unauthorized. Network access
will be blocked.
quiet_period <sec 0-65535> − Configures the time interval between authentication failure and
the start of a new authentication attempt.
tx_period <sec 1-65535> − Configures the time to wait for a response from a supplicant (user)
to send EAP Request/Identity packets.
supp_timeout <sec 1-65535> − Configures the time to wait for a response from a supplicant
(user) for all EAP packets, except for the Request/Identity packets.
server_timeout <sec 1-65535> − Configure the length of time to wait for a response from a
RADIUS server.
max_req <value 1-10> − Configures the number of times to retry sending packets to a
supplicant (user).
reauth_period <sec 1-65535> − Configures the time interval between successive re-
authentications.
enable_reauth [enable | disable] − Determines whether or not the Switch will re-authenticate.
Enabled causes re-authentication of users at the time interval specified in the Re-authentication
Period field, above.
