◆
When devices attached to a port must submit requests to another
authenticator on the network, configure the identity profile parameters
(see
command on
) which identify this
switch as a supplicant, and enable dot1x supplicant mode for those
ports which must authenticate clients through a remote authenticator
using this command. In this mode the port will not respond to dot1x
messages meant for an authenticator.
◆
This switch can be configured to serve as the authenticator on selected
ports by setting the control mode to “auto” (see the
command on
), and as a supplicant on other ports by the
setting the control mode to “force-authorized” and enabling dot1x
supplicant mode with this command.
