96 CHAPTER 4: PORT COMMANDS

The 802.1X specification prohibits networking devices from forwarding

PAE group address packets, because this would make it possible for

multiple authenticators to acquire the same client.

For non-802.1X clients, who use MAC authentication, WebAAA, or

last-resort authentication, wired authentication works if the clients are

directly attached or indirectly attached.

Examples — The following command sets port 2 for a wired

authentication user:

WX1200# set port type wired-auth 2

success: change accepted

The following command sets port 7 for a wired authentication user and

specifies a maximum of three simultaneous user sessions:

WX1200# set port type wired-auth 7 max-sessions 3

success: change accepted
