Notes
:
■
For information on how to configure the prerequisites for using the
aaa port-access controlled-directions in
command, see Chapter 4, “Multi
ple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation” in the
Advanced Traffic Man
agement Guide.
■
To display the currently configured Controlled Directions value for
web-authenticated ports, enter the
show port-access web-based config
command as shown in Figure 3-4
■
The
aaa port-access controlled-direction in
command allows Wake-on-
LAN traffic to be transmitted on a web-authenticated egress port that
has not yet transitioned to the authenticated state; the
controlled-
direction both
setting prevents Wake-on-LAN traffic to be transmitted
on a web-authenticated egress port until authentication occurs.
The Wake-on-LAN feature is used by network administrators to
remotely power on a sleeping workstation (for example, during early
morning hours to perform routine maintenance operations, such as
patch management and software updates)
■
Using the
aaa port-access controlled-directions in
command, you can
enable the transmission of Wake-on-LAN traffic on unauthenticated
egress ports that are configured for any of the following port-based
security features:
•
802.1X authentication
•
MAC authenticatio
n
•
Web authentication
Because a port can be configured for more than one type of authenti
cation to protect the switch from unauthorized access, the last setting
you configure with the
aaa port-access controlled-directions
command is
applied to all authentication methods configured on the switch.
For information about how to configure and use 802.1X authentica
tion, refer to Chapter 12, “Configuring Port-Based and User-Based
Access Control (802.1X)”
■
When a web-authenticated port is configured with the
controlled-direc
tions in
setting, eavesdrop prevention is not supported on the port
.
