Step 3: Enable 802.1X port-based authentication globally. See “To Enable 802.1X 
Port-based Authentication Globally”
Step 4: Configure L2 interface.
ALU(config)# interface switchport <slot/port>
ALU(config-if switchport<slot/port>)# 
Example:
ALU(config)# interface switchport 5/0
ALU(config-if switchport5/0)#
Note: The L2 interface on which 802.1X configured should not be in ‘Trunk/Hybrid’ mode. 
And, also port monitoring should not be configured on the interface.
Step 5: Administratively bring up the interface.
ALU(config-if <interface-name>)# no shutdown
Example:
ALU(config-if switchport5/0)# no shutdown
Step 6: Enable 802.1X port-based authentication on the L2GE interface. See “To 
Enable 802.1X Port-based Authentication on L2 Interface”
Step 7: Configure 802.1X Optional parameters on a L2 interface. See 
“Configure 802.1X Optional Parameters on a L2 interface”
