Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication

To return to the default value, use the no dot1x auth-failmax-attemptsinterface configuration command.

This example shows how to set 2 as the number of authentication attempts allowed before the port moves to the restricted VLAN:

Switch(config-if)#dot1x auth-fail max-attempts 2

Configuring the Inaccessible Authentication Bypass Feature
