authentication port-control
•
Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) destination ports—You can enable
IEEE 802.1x authentication on a port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port. However, IEEE
802.1x authentication is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN or RSPAN destination. You
can enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.
To globally disable IEEE 802.1x authentication on the switch, use the
no dot1x system-auth-control
global configuration command. To disable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a specific port or to return to
the default setting, use the
no authentication port-control
interface configuration command.
Examples
This example shows how to set the port state to automatic:
Switch(config)#
authentication port-control auto
This example shows how to set the port state to the force- authorized state:
Switch(config)#
authentication port-control force-authorized
This example shows how to set the port state to the force-unauthorized state:
Switch(config)#
authentication port-control force-unauthorized
You can verify your settings by entering the
show authentication
privileged EXEC command.
