DOT1X Messages
Error Message
DOT1X-4-PROC_START_ERR: Dot1x unable to start.
Explanation
The system failed to start the IEEE 802.1x process.
Recommended Action
Restart the IEEE 802.1x process by entering the
dot1x system-auth-control
global configuration command. If this message recurs, reload the device.
Error Message
DOT1X-4-UNKN_ERR: An unknown operational error occurred.
Explanation
The IEEE 802.1x process cannot operate because of an internal system error.
Recommended Action
Reload the device.
Error Message
DOT1X-5-ERR_CHANNELLING: Dot1x cannot be enabled on Channelling ports.
Explanation
IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the EtherChannel port. This
occurred because the switch tried to set IEEE 802.1x port control to
auto
or to f
orce-unauthorized
mode on the channel port, which is not allowed.
Recommended Action
Disable the EtherChannel on the interface and then try to re-enable
IEEE 802.1x authentication.
Error Message
DOT1X-5-ERR_DYNAMIC: Dot1x cannot be enabled on Dynamic ports.
Explanation
IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the dynamic-mode port. This
occurred because the switch tried to set IEEE 802.1x port-control to
auto
or
force-unauthorized
mode on a dynamic mode port, which is not allowed.
Recommended Action
Disable dynamic mode on the interface, and then try IEEE 802.1x
authentication.
Error Message
DOT1X-5-ERR_MULTI_ACCESS: Dot1x can not be enabled on voice vlan
configured ports.
Explanation
IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the voice VLAN- configured port.
This occurred because the switch tried to set IEEE 802.1x port control to
auto
or
force-unauthorized
mode on a voice VLAN- configured port, which is not allowed.
Recommended Action
Disable the voice VLAN on the interface, and then try IEEE 802.1x
authentication.
Error Message
DOT1X-5-ERR_PROTO_TUNNELLING: Dot1x can not be enabled on protocol
tunnelling enabled ports.
Explanation
IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the protocol tunneling enabled
port. This condition was caused by trying to set IEEE 802.1x port-control to
auto
or
force-unauthorized
mode on a protocol tunneling enabled port, which is not allowed.
Recommended Action
Disable protocol tunnelling on the interface, and retry the IEEE 802.1x
operation.
