Chapter 9 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
To disable and remove the restricted VLAN, use the
no dot1x auth-fail vlan
interface configuration
command. The port returns to the unauthorized state.
This example shows how to enable
VLAN 2
as an 802.1x restricted VLAN:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet2/0/2
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x auth-fail vlan 2
You can configure the maximum number of authentication attempts allowed before a user is assigned to
the restricted VLAN by using the
dot1x auth-fail max-attempts
interface configuration command. The
range of allowable authentication attempts is 1 to 3. The default is 3 attempts.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum number of allowed
authentication attempts. This procedure is optional.
To return to the default value, use the
no dot1x auth-fail max-attempts
interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to set
2
as the number of authentication attempts allowed before the port moves
to the restricted VLAN:
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x auth-fail max-attempts 2
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 or a voice VLAN as an 802.1x restricted VLAN.
Step 6
dot1x auth-fail max-attempts
max
attempts
Specify a number of authentication attempts to allow before a port moves
to the restricted VLAN. The range is 1 to 3, and the default is 3.
Step 7
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8
show authentication
interface-id
or
show dot1x interface
interface-id
(Optional) Verify your entries.
Step 9
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
