3.13.2.13 IEEE 802.1x Ethernet Port Commands
dot1x
Syntax dot1x
Context config>port>ethernet
Description This command enables access to the context to configure port-specific 802.1x authentication
attributes on an Ethernet port.
mac-auth
Syntax [no] mac-auth
Context config>port>ethernet>dot1x
Description This command enables MAC-based authentication. To use MAC-based authentication,
802.1x authentication must first be enabled using the port-control auto command.
When MAC-based authentication is enabled, and the mac-auth-wait timer expires, the
7705 SAR begins listening on the port for valid Ethernet frames. The source address of a
received frame is used for MAC-based authentication.
The no form of this command disables MAC-based authentication.
Default no mac-auth
mac-auth-wait
Syntax mac-auth-wait seconds
no mac-auth-wait
Context config>port>ethernet>dot1x
Description This command configures the delay period before MAC authentication is activated and the
7705 SAR searches for a valid client MAC address.
The no form of this command disables the delay and allows MAC authentication to be used
immediately.
Default no mac-auth-wait
Parameters seconds — specifies the MAC authentication delay period in seconds
Values 1 to 3600
