Chapter10 Configuring 802.1x Port -Based Authentication Displaying 802.1x Statistics and Status
Note You must configure the RADIUS server to perform accounting tasks, such as logging start, stop, and
interim-update messages and time stamps. To turn on these functions, enable logging of
“Update/Watchdog packets from this AAA client” in your RADIUS server Network Configuration tab.
Next, enable “CVS RADIUS Accounting” in your RADIUS server System Configuration tab.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure 802.1x accou nting af ter AA A i s
enabled on your switch. This procedure is optional.
Use the show radius statistics privileged EXEC command to display the number of RADIUS messages
that do not receive the accounting response message.
This example shows how to configure 802.1x accounting. The first command configures t he R A DIU S
server, specifying 1813 as the UDP port for accounting:
Switch(config)# radius-server host 172.120.39.46 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key rad123
Switch(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
Switch(config)# aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius
Displaying 802.1x Statistics and Status
To display 802.1x statistics for all interfaces, use the show dot1x all statistics privileged EXEC
command. To display 802.1x statistics for a specific interface, use the show dot1x statistics interface
interface-id privileged EXEC command.
To display the 802.1x administrative and operational status for the switch, use the show dot1 x all
privileged EXEC command. To display the 802.1x administrative and operational status for a specific
interface, use the show dot1x interface interface-id privileged EXEC command.
For detailed information about the fields in these displays, refer to the command reference for this
release.
Command Purpose

switch reloads.
Step5 end Return to privileged EXEc mode.
