188 802.1X – Technical Guideline

14.2.5 Switch Console Interface

For either administrative or informative purposes it is possible to connect to the switch using a telnet
session. By default the console interface shows only little output. To enable higher verbosity it is
recommended to enable debug information, as seen in the example, for various topics. To enable or
disable debug logs it is required to enter the privileged exec mode.
To enter privileged exec mode, enter after initially authenticating following line:
•enable
Example enabling debug output:
• debug aaa authentication
• debug aaa authorization
• debug aaa accounting
•debug dot1x all
• debug eap all
Sample debug information for EAP should look something like this:

14.3 Authentication
