Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1x)
Configuring Switch Ports To Operate As Supplicants for 802.1x Connections to Other Switches
aaa port-access supplicant [ ethernet ] < port-list > (Syntax Continued)
[ auth-timeout < 1 - 300 > ]
Sets the period of time the port waits to receive a
challenge from the authenticator. If the request times
out, the port sends another authentication request, up
to the number of attempts specified by the
max-start
parameter. (Default: 30 seconds).
[ max-start < 1 .. 10 >]
Defines the maximum number of times the supplicant
port requests authentication. See step 1 on page 6-34
for a description of how the port reacts to the authen­
ticator response. (Default: 3).
[ held-period < 0 .. 65535 > ]
Sets the time period the supplicant port waits after an
active 802.1x session fails before trying to re- acquire
the authenticator port. (Default: 60 seconds)
[ start-period < 1 .. 300 > ]
Sets the time period between Start packet retrans- mis­
sions. That is, after a supplicant sends a start packet,
it waits duirng the
start-period for a response. If no
response comes during the start- period, the supplicant
sends a new start packet. The max-start setting (above)
specifies how many start attempts are allowed in the
session. (Default: 30 seconds)
aaa port-access supplicant [ ethernet ] < port-list >
[ initialize ]
On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound
traffic and restarts the 802.1x authentication process.
Affects only ports configured as 802.1x supplicants.
[ clear-statistics ]
Clears and restarts the 802.1x supplicant statistics
counters.
