Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Information About Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Figure 20
Message Exchange
If 802.1x authentication times out while waiting for an EAPOL message exchange and MAC authentication bypass is
enabled, the switch can authorize the client when the switch detects an Ethernet packet from the client. The switch uses
the MAC address of the client as its identity and includes this information in the RADIUS-access/request frame that is
sent to the RADIUS server. After the server sends the switch the RADIUS-access/accept frame (authorization is
successful), the port becomes authorized. If authorization fails and a guest VLAN is specified, the switch assigns the port
to the guest VLAN. If the switch detects an EAPOL packet while waiting for an Ethernet packet, the switch stops the MAC
authentication bypass process and stops 802.1x authentication.
