command enables users to configure the
authentication protocol.
Parameters
radius_eap | local
– Specify the type of authentication protocol desired.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.

DES-1228/ME:4#
config 802.1x init
Purpose
Used to initialize the 802.1X function on a range of ports.
Syntax
config 802.1x init {port_based ports [<auth_portlist> | all] | mac_based | ports
[<portlist> | all] {mac_address <macaddr>}]
Description
The
config 802.1x init
command is used to immediately initialize the 802.1X functions on
a specified range of ports or for specified MAC addresses operating from a specified range
of ports.
Parameters
port_based
