Configuration Tasks 16- and 36-Port Ethernet Switch Module for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Command Step 4 interface interface-id Step 5 dot1x port-control auto Step 6 end Step 7 show dot1x Step 8 copy running-config startup-config Purpose Enters interface configuration mode, and specify the interface to be enabled for 802.1x authentication. Enables 802.1x on the interface. For feature interaction information with trunk, dynamic, dynamic-access, EtherChannel, secure, and SPAN ports see the "802.1x Configuration Guidelines" section on page 61. Returns to privileged EXEC mode. Verifies your entries. Check the Status column in the 802.1x Port Summary section of the display. An enabled status means the port-control value is set either to auto or to force-unauthorized. (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file. To disable AAA, use the no aaa new-model global configuration command. To disable 802.1x AAA authentication, use the no aaa authentication dot1x {default | list-name} method1 [method2...] global configuration command. To disable 802.1x, use the dot1x port-control force-authorized or the no dot1x port-control interface configuration command. Configuring the Switch-to-RADIUS-Server Communication RADIUS security servers are identified by their host name or IP address, host name and specific UDP port numbers, or IP address and specific UDP port numbers. The combination of the IP address and UDP port number creates a unique identifier, which enables RADIUS requests to be sent to multiple UDP ports on a server at the same IP address. If two different host entries on the same RADIUS server are configured for the same service-for example, authentication-the second host entry configured acts as the fail-over backup to the first one. The RADIUS host entries are tried in the order that they were configured. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the RADIUS server parameters on the switch. This procedure is required. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XT, 12.2(8)T, and 12.2(15)ZJ 62

16- and 36-Port Ethernet Switch Module for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series
Configuration Tasks
62
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XT, 12.2(8)T, and 12.2(15)ZJ
To disable AAA, use the
no aaa new-model
global configuration command. To disable 802.1x AAA
authentication, use the
no aaa authentication dot1x
{
default
|
list-name
}
method1
[
method2
...] global
configuration command. To disable 802.1x, use the
dot1x port-control force-authorized
or the
no
dot1x port-control
interface configuration command.
Configuring the Switch-to-RADIUS-Server Communication
RADIUS security servers are identified by their host name or IP address, host name and specific UDP
port numbers, or IP address and specific UDP port numbers. The combination of the IP address and UDP
port number creates a unique identifier, which enables RADIUS requests to be sent to multiple UDP
ports on a server at the same IP address. If two different host entries on the same RADIUS server are
configured for the same service—for example, authentication—the second host entry configured acts as
the fail-over backup to the first one. The RADIUS host entries are tried in the order that they were
configured.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the RADIUS server parameters on
the switch. This procedure is required.
Step 4
interface
interface-id
Enters interface configuration mode, and specify the interface to be
enabled for 802.1x authentication.
Step 5
dot1x port-control auto
Enables 802.1x on the interface.
For feature interaction information with trunk, dynamic, dynamic-access,
EtherChannel, secure, and SPAN ports see the
“802.1x Configuration
Guidelines” section on page 61
.
Step 6
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show dot1x
Verifies your entries.
Check the Status column in the 802.1x Port Summary section of the
display. An
enabled
status means the port-control value is set either to
auto
or to
force-unauthorized
.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
