authentication
order
This command sets the order of authentication methods used on a port. The
available authentication methods are Dot1x, MAB, and captive portal. Ordering
sets the order of methods that the switch attempts when trying to authenticate a
new device connected to a port. If one method is unsuccessful or timed out, the
next method is attempted.
Each method can only be entered once. Ordering is only possible between 802.1x
and MAB. Captive portal can be configured either as a stand-alone method or as
the last method in the order.
