Interface Configuration
Command Usage
◆ When devices attached to a port must submit requests to another
authenticator on the network, configure the identity profile parameters (see
dot1x identity profile command) which identify this switch as a supplicant, and
enable dot1x supplicant mode for those ports which must authenticate clients
through a remote authenticator using this command. In this mode the port will
not respond to dot1x messages meant for an authenticator.
◆ This switch can be configured to serve as the authenticator on selected ports
by setting the control mode to “auto” (see the dot1x port-control command),
and as a supplicant on other ports by the setting the control mode to “force-
authorized” and enabling dot1x supplicant mode with this command.
◆ A port cannot be configured as a dot1x supplicant if it is a member of a trunk or
LACP is enabled on the port.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x pae supplicant
Console(config-if)#
