Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines Devices connected to interfaces on which IEEE 802.1X authentication is enabled will be required to authenticate before accessing network resources. This command enables 802.1X authentication globally. IEEE 802.1x must also be enabled on an interface in order for authentication to be enabled. It is possible to configure IEEE 802.1x while not enabled globally. Use the dot1x system-auth-control command to activate the configuration. This command enables local processing of IEEE 802.1x frames on the switch. Dot1x eapolflood mode must be disabled for local processing to occur. If 802.1x is used in combination with the authentication manager, be sure to enable the authentication manager with the authentication enable command. Example The following example enables 802.1x globally. console(config)# dot1x system-auth-control authentication monitor Use the authentication monitor command in Global Configuration mode to enable 801.1x monitor mode globally. To disable 802.1x monitor mode globally, use the no form of this command. Syntax authentication monitor no authentication monitor Default Configuration Authentication monitor mode is disabled.
