AUTHENTICATION DOT1X
aaa authentication dot1x
Overview This command enables 802.1X-based Port Authentication globally and allows you
to enable an authentication method list. It is automatically applied to every
interface running 802.1X-based Port Authentication.
Use the no variant of this command to globally disable 802.1X-based Port
Authentication.
Syntax
aaa authentication dot1x default group {<group-name>|radius}
no aaa authentication dot1x default
Default 802.1X-based Port Authentication is disabled by default.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage Use this command to specify the default method list to use for authentication on
all switch ports with 802.1X enabled. Use the no variant of this command to reset
the authentication method list for 802.1X to its default (i.e. to use the group radius,
containing all RADIUS servers configured by the radius-server host command).
There are two ways to define servers where RADIUS accounting messages are sent:
• group radius : use all RADIUS servers configured by radius-server host
command
• group <group-name> : use the specified RADIUS server group configured
with the aaa group server command
Examples To enable 802.1X-based Port Authentication globally with all RADIUS servers, and
use all available RADIUS servers, use the command:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
To disable 802.1X-based Port Authentication, use the command:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no aaa authentication dot1x default
