Quick Steps for Configuring Access Guardian
Policies
When 802.1x is enabled for a switch port, default Access Guardian device classification policies are
applied to all devices connected to the port. As a result, it is only necessary to configure such policies if
the default policy is not sufficient for user access requirements. Therefore, the following quick steps are
optional but provide a brief tutorial for configuring Access Guardian policies:
1 To configure an Access Guardian policy that will authenticate and classify 802.1x users (supplicants),
use the 802.1x supplicant policy authentication command.
-> 802.1x 2/12 supplicant policy authentication pass group-mobility default-vlan
fail vlan 10
2 To configure an Access Guardian policy that will authenticate and classify non-802.1x users (non-
supplicants), use the 802.1x non-supplicant policy authentication command.
-> 802.1x 2/12 non-supplicant policy authentication pass group-mobility default-
vlan fail vlan 10
3 To bypass authentication and restrict device classification of non-802.1x users to VLANs that are not
authenticated VLANs, use the 802.1x non-supplicant policy command..
-> 802.1x 3/10 non-supplicant policy vlan 43 block
4 To set the Access Guardian policy back to the default classification policy for an 802.1x port, use the
802.1x policy default command.
-> 802.1x 3/10 policy default
Note. Verify the Access Guardian configuration using the show 802.1x device classification policies
command:
-> show 802.1x device classification policies
