Chapter 9 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
To disable MAC authentication bypass, use the no dot1x mac-auth-bypass interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to enable MAC authentication bypass:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x mac-auth-bypass
Configuring NAC Layer 2 802.1x Validation
You can configure NAC Layer 2 802.1x validation, which is also referred to as 802.1x authentication
with a RADIUS server.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure NAC Layer 2 802.1x validation.
The procedure is optional.
Step 4
dot1x mac-auth-bypass [eap] Enable MAC authentication bypass.
(Optional) Use the eap keyword to configure the switch to use EAP for
authorization.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show authentication interface-id
or
show dot1x interface interface-id
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 3
dot1x guest-vlan vlan-id Specify an active VLAN as an 802.1x guest VLAN. The range is 1 to
4094.
You can configure any active VLAN except an internal VLAN (routed
port), an RSPAN VLAN, or a voice VLAN as an 802.1x guest VLAN.
Step 4
authentication periodic
or
dot1x reauthentication
Enable periodic re-authentication of the client, which is disabled by
default.
Step 5
dot1x timeout reauth-period {seconds |
server}
Set the number of seconds between re-authentication attempts.
The keywords have these meanings:
• seconds—Sets the number of seconds from 1 to 65535; the default is
3600 seconds.
• server—Sets the number of seconds based on the value of the
Session-Timeout RADIUS attribute (Attribute[27]) and the
Termination-Action RADIUS attribute (Attribute [29]).
This command affects the behavior of the switch only if periodic
re-authentication is enabled.
