Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series User Manual

Auto Identity Interface Templates
The following interface templates are available in the Auto Identity feature:
• AI_MONITOR_MODE—Passively monitors sessions that have authentication in open mode.
• AI_LOW_IMPACT_MODE—Similar to monitor mode, but with a configured static policy such as a
port access control list (PACL).
• AI_CLOSED_MODE—Secure mode in which data traffic is not allowed into the network, until
authentication is complete. This mode is the default.
The following commands are inbuilt in the AI_MONITOR_MODE:
switchport mode access
access-session port-control auto
access-session host-mode multi-auth
dot1x pae authenticator
mab
service-policy type control subscriber AI_DOT1X_MAB_POLICIES
The following commands are inbuilt in the AI_LOW_IMPACT_MODE:
switchport mode access
access-session port-control auto
access-session host-mode multi-auth
dot1x pae authenticator
mab
ip access-group AI_PORT_ACL in
service-policy type control subscriber AI_DOT1X_MAB_POLICIES
The following commands are inbuilt in the AI_CLOSED_MODE:
switchport mode access
access-session closed
access-session port-control auto
access-session host-mode multi-auth
dot1x pae authenticator
mab
service-policy type control subscriber AI_DOT1X_MAB_POLICIES
Auto Identity Built-in Policies
The following five built-in policies are available in the Auto Identity feature:
• AI_DOT1X_MAB_AUTH—Enables flexible authentication with dot1x, and then MAC Address Bypass
(MAB).
• AI_DOT1X_MAB_POLICIES—Enables flexible authentication with dot1x, and then MAB. Applies
critical VLAN in case the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server is not reachable.
• AI_DOT1X_MAB_WEBAUTH—Enables flexible authentication with dot1x, MAB, and then web
authentication.
• AI_NEXTGEN_AUTHBYBASS—Skips authentication if an IP phone device is detected. Enables the
device classifier command in global configuration mode and the voice-vlan command in interface
configuration mode to detect the device. This is a reference policy map, and users can copy the contents
of this policy map to other policy maps.
• AI_STANDALONE_WEBAUTH—Defines standalone web authentication.
