dot1x legacy-supp-mode
Use the dot1x legacy-supp-mode interface configuration command in multiple session mode to enable 802.1x
switch to send periodic EAPOL request identity frame according to tx timeout period - in order to verify
authentication in multiple session mode for clients that do not follow 802.1x standard behavior. Use the no form of
this command to work in a non legacy mode.

Usage Guidelines
The command causes the switch to send an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-request/identity frame from
the 802.1x enabled port. each tx-period automatically, when in multiple session mode. The command should be
activated only in case all devices connected to that port do not follow 802.1x standard behavior to send EAPOL
start packets when client link goes up (for example - some Windows OS with pre Service Pack 3).
Command related to multi-session only.
Examples
The following example causes the switch to send an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-request/identity
frame from the 802.1x enabled port. each tx-period automatically, when in multiple session mode.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
