◆
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) 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), and as a supplicant on other ports by the setting the
control mode to “force-authorized” and enabling dot1x supplicant mode
with this command.
◆
A port cannot be configured as a dot1x supplicant if it is a member of a
trunk or LACP is enabled on the port.
