Configuring 802.1x Authentication
This example shows how to configure NAC Layer 2 802.1x validation:
Switch#
configure terminal
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet2/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x reauthentication
Switch(config-if)#
dot1x timeout reauth-period server
Configuring an Authenticator and a Supplicant Switch with NEAT
Configuring this feature requires that one switch outside a wiring closet is configured as a supplicant and
is connected to an authenticator switch.
For overview information, see the
“802.1x Supplicant and Authenticator Switches with Network Edge
Access Topology (NEAT)” section on page 9-30
Note
The
cisco-av-pairs
must be configured as
device-traffic-class=switch
on the ACS, which sets the
interface as a trunk after the supplicant is successfully authenticated.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a switch as an authenticator:
