802.1X Port-Based Authentication Guidelines and Restrictions
When configuring 802.1X port-based authentication, follow these guidelines and restrictions:
• When 802.1X is enabled, ports are authenticated before any other Layer 2 or Layer 3 features are
enabled.
• The 802.1X protocol is supported on both Layer 2 static-access ports and Layer 3 routed ports, but
it is not supported on these port types:

wait for a response to an EAP request/identity frame
from the client before retransmitting the request)
Maximum retransmission number 2 times (number of times that the router will send an
EAP-request/identity frame before restarting the
authentication process)
Multiple host support Disabled

the authentication server, the amount of time the router
