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 387), you need to
configure the parameters for the client supplicant process if the client must
be authenticated through another device in the network.
CLI REFERENCES
â—† "802.1X Port Authentication" on page 848
COMMAND USAGE
â—† 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 386) 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.
