Chapter 1 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Understanding IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
If 802.1x authentication times out while waiting for an EAPOL message exchange and MAC
authentication bypass is enabled, the switch can authorize the client when the switch detects an Ethernet
packet from the client. The switch uses the MAC address of the client as its identity and includes this
information in the RADIUS-access/request frame that is sent to the RADIUS server. After the server
sends the switch the RADIUS-access/accept frame (authorization is successful), the port becomes
authorized. If authorization fails and a guest VLAN is specified, the switch assigns the port to the guest
VLAN. If the switch detects an EAPOL packet while waiting for an Ethernet packet, the switch stops
the MAC authentication bypass process and stops 802.1x authentication.
Figure 1-4 shows the message exchange during MAC authentication bypass.

Authentication Manager
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE and earlier, you could not use the same authorization methods, including
CLI commands and messages, on this switch and also on other network devices, such as a Catalyst 6000.
You had to use separate authentication configurations. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE and later supports
the same authorization methods on all Catalyst switches in a network.
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE supports filtering verbose system messages from the authentication
manager. For details, see the
“Authentication Manager CLI Commands” section on page 1-9 .
