A method list describes the sequence and authentication methods to be queried to authenticate a user. The software uses the first method listed to authenticate users; if that method fails to respond, the software selects the next authentication method in the method list. This process continues until there is successful communication with a listed authentication method or until all defined methods are exhausted. If authentication fails at any point in this cycle, the authentication process stops, and no other authentication methods are attempted. For additional information on default 802.1x configuration refer "Default 802.1x Configuration" section on page 5. Complete these steps to configure 802.1x port-based authentication. This procedure is required. SUMMARY STEPS 1. enable 2. configure terminal 19
