Understanding IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Authentication Manager
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE and earlier, you could not use the same authorization methods, including
CLI commands and messages, on this switch and also on other network devices, such as a Catalyst 6000.
You had to use separate authentication configurations. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE and later supports
the same authorization methods on all Catalyst switches in a network.
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE supports filtering verbose system messages from the authentication
ma
nager. For details, see the “Authentication Manager CLI Commands” section on page 10-9.
