Chapter 10 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
To disable and remove the guest VLAN, use the no dot1x guest-vlan interface configuration command.
The port returns to the unauthorized state.
This example shows how to enable VLAN 2 as an 802.1x guest VLAN:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# dot1x guest-vlan 2
This example shows how to set 3 as the quiet time on the switch, to set 15 as the number of seconds that
the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before re-sending the
request, and to enable VLAN 2 as an 802.1x guest VLAN when an 802.1x port is connected to a DHCP
client:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 3
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout tx-period 15
Switch(config-if)# dot1x guest-vlan 2
Configuring a Restricted VLAN
When you configure a restricted VLAN on a switch, clients that are 802.1x-compliant are moved into
the restricted VLAN when the authentication server does not receive a valid username and password.
The switch supports restricted VLANs only in single-host mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a restricted VLAN. This procedure
is optional.
Step 5 dot1x guest-vlan vlan-id Specify an active VLAN as an 802.1x guest VLAN. The range is 1
to 4094.
You can configure any active VLAN except an internal VLAN (routed
port), an RSPAN VLAN, a primary private VLAN, or a voice VLAN as
an 802.1x guest VLAN.
Step 6 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 show authentication interface-id
or
show dot1x interface interface-id
Verify your entries.
Step 8 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
For the supported port types, see the “802.1x Authentication
Configuration Guidelines” section on page 10-31.
Step 3 switchport mode access
or
switchport mode private-vlan host
Set the port to access mode,
or
Configure the Layer 2 port as a private-VLAN host port.
