Usage Guidelines

According to IEEE802.1 standards the 802.1X BPDUs should never be forwarded.

The 802.1X BPDUs should be handled by the software in case 802.1X is enabled

on the ingress port, or discarded in all other cases.

This feature enables to bridge 802.1X BPDUs packets as data packets.

The feature can be enabled only when 802.1X is globally disabled (by the no dot1x

system-auth-control global configuration command). If the port is disabled for

802.1X but 802.1X is enabled globally, 802.1X BPDUs would always be discarded.
