Chapter 9 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
This example shows how to set 3 as the quiet time on the switch, to set 15 as the number of seconds that
the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before re-sending the
request, and to enable VLAN 2 as an IEEE 802.1x guest VLAN when an 802.1x port is connected to a
DHCP client:
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x timeout quiet-period 3
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x timeout tx-period 15
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x guest-vlan 2
Configuring a Restricted VLAN
When you configure a restricted VLAN on a switch stack or a switch, clients that are
IEEE 802.1x-compliant are moved into the restricted VLAN when the authentication server does not
receive a valid username and password. The switch supports restricted VLANs only in single-host mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a restricted VLAN. This procedure
is optional.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface
interface-id
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
For the supported port types, see the
Configuration Guidelines” section on page 9-34
Step 3
switchport mode access
or
switchport mode private-vlan host
Set the port to access mode,
or
Configure the Layer 2 port as a private-VLAN host port.
Step 4
authentication port-control auto
or
dot1x port-control auto
Enable 802.1x authentication on the port.
Step 5
dot1x auth-fail vlan
vlan-id
Specify an active VLAN as an 802.1x restricted VLAN. The range is 1 to
4094.
You can configure any active VLAN except an internal VLAN (routed
port), an RSPAN VLAN, a primary private VLAN, or a voice VLAN as
an 802.1x restricted VLAN.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show authentication
interface-id
or
show dot1x interface
interface-id
(Optional) Verify your entries.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
