Configuring
Port Supplicant
Settings for 802.1X
Use the Security > Port Authentication (Configure Interface – Supplicant) page to
configure 802.1X port settings for supplicant requests issued from a port to an
authenticator on another device. When 802.1X is enabled and the control mode is
set to Force-Authorized (see “Configuring Port Authenticator Settings for 802.1X”
on page 326), you need to configure the parameters for the client supplicant
process if the client must be authenticated through another device in the network.
Command Usage
◆ When devices attached to a port must submit requests to another
authenticator on the network, configure the Identity Profile parameters on the
Configure Global page (see “Configuring 802.1X Global Settings” on page 325)
which identify this switch as a supplicant, and configure the supplicant
parameters for those ports which must authenticate clients through the
remote authenticator on this configuration page. When PAE supplicant mode is
enabled on a port, it will not respond to dot1x messages meant for an
authenticator.
