• In “multi-host” mode, only one host connected to a port needs to pass
authentication for all other hosts to be granted network access.
Similarly, a port can become unauthorized for all hosts if one attached
host fails re-authentication or sends an EAPOL logoff message.
Example
7.7.39 dot1x re-authenticate
This command forces re-authentication on all ports or a specific interface.
Syntax
dot1x re-authenticate [ interface ]
interface
• ethernet < unit >/< port >
•
unit
- This is device 1.
•
port
- Physical port number on the ECN330 (Range: 1-28).
Command Mode
Privileged Exec
Command Usage
The re-authentication process verifies the connected client’s user ID and
password on the RADIUS server. During re-authentication, the client
remains connected the network and the process is handled transparently by
the dot1x client software. Only if re-authentication fails is the port blocked.
Re-authentication can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into an
ECN330 port.
