Dell Force10 S4810P - Important Points to Remember; Enabling 802.1 X

802.1X | 91
Important Points to Remember
• FTOS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and
MS-CHAPv2 with PEAP.
• All platforms support only RADIUS as the authentication server.
• If the primary RADIUS server becomes unresponsive, the authenticator begins using a secondary
RADIUS server, if configured.
• 802.1X is not supported on port-channels or port-channel members.
Enabling 802.1X
802.1X must be enabled globally.
To enable 802.1X:
Verify that 802.1X is enabled globally and at interface level using the command

dot1x
from EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the example below.
