802.1x Commands dot1x port-control The dot1x port-control Interface Configuration mode command enables manually controlling the authorization state of the port. To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command. Syntax dot1x port-control {auto | force-authorized | force-unauthorized} no dot1x port-control Parameters • auto - Enables 802.1X authentication on the interface and causes the port to transition to the authorized or unauthorized state based on the 802.1X authentication exchange between the port and the client. • force-authorized - Disables 802.1X authentication on the interface and causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. The port resends and receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the client. • force-unauthorized - Denies all access through this interface by forcing the port to transition to the unauthorized state and ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. The device cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface. Default Configuration Port is in the force-authorized state Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet) User Guidelines It is recommended to disable spanning tree or to enable spanning-tree PortFast mode on 802.1x edge ports (ports in auto state that are connected to end stations), in order to get immediately to the forwarding state after successful authentication. Examples The following example enables 802.1X authentication on Ethernet port 6. Console(config)# interface ethernet 6 Console(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto Page 332
