• In “multi-host” mode, only one host connected to a port needs to pass
authentication for all other hosts to be granted network access.
Similarly, a port can become unauthorized for all hosts if one attached
host fails re-authentication or sends an EAPOL logoff message.
Example
dot1x re-authenticate
This command forces re-authentication on all ports or a specific interface.
Syntax
dot1x re-authenticate [interface]
interface
ethernet unit/port
- unit - Stack unit. (Range: 1)
- port - Port number. (Range: 1-19)
Command Mode
Privileged Exec
Command Usage
The re-authentication process verifies the connected client’s user ID
and password on the RADIUS server. During re-authentication, the
client remains connected the network and the process is handled
transparently by the dot1x client software. Only if re-authentication
fails is the port blocked.
Example
Console(config)#interface eth 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x operation-mode multi-host max-count 10
Console(config-if)#
Console#dot1x re-authenticate
