1. Enable 802.1X Authentication on Selected Ports 
This task configures the individual ports you want to operate as 802.1X 
authenticators for point-to-point links to 802.1X-aware clients or switches. 
(Actual 802.1X operation does not commence until you perform step 
5 on page 
10-14 to activate 802.1X authentication on the switch.) 
Not e  If you enable 802.1X authentication on a port, the switch automatically dis-
ables LACP on that port. However, if the port is already operating in an LACP 
trunk, you must remove the port from the trunk before you can configure it 
for 802.1X authentication.
