Note that:

z

Enabling 802.1X on a port is mutually exclusive with adding the port to an aggregation group.

z

For a user-side device sending untagged traffic, the voice VLAN function and 802.1X are mutually

exclusive and cannot be configured together on the same port. For details about voice VLAN, refer

to VLAN Configuration.

z

In EAP relay authentication mode, the device encapsulates the 802.1X user information in the EAP

attributes of RADIUS packets and sends the packets to the RADIUS server for authentication. In

this case, you can configure the user-name-format command but it does not take effect. For

information about the user-name-format command, refer to AAA Commands.

z

If the username of a client contains the version number or one or more blank spaces, you can

neither retrieve information nor disconnect the client by using the username. However, you can use

items such as IP address and connection index number to do so.

Enabling the Online User Handshake Function

The online user handshake function allows the device to send handshake messages to online users to

check whether the users are still online at the interval specified by the dot1x timer handshake-period

command. If the device does not receive any response from an online user after the device has sent the

handshake packet for the maximum number of times, which is set by the dot1x retry command, the

device will set the user state to offline.

Follow these steps to configure the online user handshake function:
