When devices attached to a port must submit requests to another
authenticator on the network, configure the identity profile parameters
(see dot1x identity profile command on page 705 ) which identify this
switch as a supplicant, and enable dot1x supplicant mode for those
ports which must authenticate clients through a remote authenticator
using this command. In this mode the port will not respond to dot1x
messages meant for an authenticator.
This switch can be configured to serve as the authenticator on selected
ports by setting the control mode to “auto” (see the dot1x port-control
command on page 701 ), and as a supplicant on other ports by the
setting the control mode to “force-authorized” and enabling dot1x
supplicant mode with this command.
