protection function is disabled.
z
802.1x configurations take effect only after you enable 802.1x both globally and for specified ports.
z
The settings of 802.1x and MAC address learning limit are mutually exclusive. Enabling 802.1x on
a port will prevent you from setting the limit on MAC address learning on the port and vice versa.
z
The settings of 802.1x and aggregation group member are mutually exclusive. Enabling 802.1x on
a port will prevent you from adding the port to an aggregation group and vice versa.
z
When a device operates as an authentication server, its authentication method for 802.1x users
cannot be configured as EAP.
z
With the support of the H3C proprietary client, handshake packets are used to test whether or not a
user is online.
z
As clients that are not of H3C do not support the online user handshaking function, switches cannot
receive handshake acknowledgement packets from them in handshaking periods. To prevent
users being falsely considered offline, you need to disable the online user handshaking function in
this case.
z
The handshake packet protection function requires the cooperation of the client and the
authentication server. If either of the two ends does not support the function, you need to disable it
on the other one.
