port.
When you configure IEEE 802.1x authentication on a port, such as by entering the dot1x port-control
interface configuration command, the switch automatically configures the port as an EEE 802.1x
authenticator. After the no dot1x pae interface configuration command is entered, the Authenticator
PAE operation is disabled.
Examples This example shows how to disable IEEE 802.1x authentication on the port:
Switch(config-if)# no dot1x pae
You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x or show eap privileged EXEC command.
