Configuring Port-Based and Client-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)
[secret]
Enter secret: < password >
Repeat secret: < password >
Sets the secret password to be used by the port supplicant
when an MD5 authentication request is received from an
authenticator. The switch prompts you to enter the secret
password after the command is invoked.
[auth-timeout < 1 - 300 >]
Sets the delay period the port waits to receive a challenge
from the authenticator. If the request times out, the port
sends another request, up to the number of attempts spec
-
ified 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 10-39 for a
description of how the port reacts to the authenticator
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 delay between Start packet retransmissions. That
is, after a supplicant sends a start packet, it waits during
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 traf-
fic 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.
