Usage Guidelines The fallback profile is used to define the IEEE 802.1x fallback behavior for IEEE 802.1x ports that do
not have supplicants. The only supported behavior is to fall back to web authentication.
Examples This example shows how to create a fallback profile to be used with web authentication:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ip admission name rule1 proxy http
Switch(config)# fallback profile profile1
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-configuration [interface interface-id]
privileged EXEC command.
