Chapter 12 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
To disable 802.1x authentication with WoL, use the no authentication control-direction or no dot1x
control-direction interface configuration command.
These examples show how to enable 802.1x authentication with WoL and set the port as bidirectional:
Switch(config-if)# authentication control-direction both
or
Switch(config-if)# dot1x control-direction both
Configuring MAC Authentication Bypass
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable MAC authentication bypass. This
procedure is optional.
Step 3
authentication control-direction {both
| in}
or
dot1x control-direction {both | in}
Enable 802.1x authentication with WoL on the port, and use these
keywords to configure the port as bidirectional or unidirectional.
• both—Sets the port as bidirectional. The port cannot receive packets
from or send packets to the host. By default, the port is bidirectional.
• in—Sets the port as unidirectional. The port can send packets to the
host but cannot receive packets from the host.
