Configuring 802.1x Authentication
Configuring a Web Authentication Local Banner
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a local banner on a switch that has
web authentication configured.
This example shows how to configure a local banner with the custom message My Switch:
Switch(config) configure terminal
Switch(config)# aaa new-model
Switch(config)# aaa ip auth-proxy auth-proxy-banner C My Switch C
Switch(config) end
For more information about the ip auth-proxy auth-proxy-banner command, see the “Authentication
Proxy Commands” section of the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference on Cisco.com.
Disabling 802.1x Authentication on the Port
You can disable 802.1x authentication on the port by using the no dot1x pae interface configuration
command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable 802.1x authentication on the port.
This procedure is optional.
To configure the port as an 802.1x port access entity (PAE) authenticator, which enables 802.1x on the
port but does not allow clients connected to the port to be authorized, use the dot1x pae authenticator
interface configuration command.
