This feature allows you to configure the GbE2 Interconnect Switch as an IEEE 802.1x Authenticator, to provide port- based network access control. The following table describes the 802.1x Configuration Menu options.

Table 111 802.1x Configuration Menu options

Command	Description
global	Displays the global 802.1x Configuration Menu.
port <port number>	Displays the 802.1x Port Menu.
ena	Globally enables 802.1x.
dis	Globally disables 802.1x.
cur	Displays current 802.1x parameters.

802.1x Global configurationCommand: /cfg/l2/8021x/global[802.1x Global Configuration Menu]

mode	-	Set	access control mode
qtperiod -		Set	EAP-Request/Identity quiet time interval

txperiod - Set EAP-Request/Identity retransmission timeout suptmout - Set EAP-Request retransmission timeout

svrtmout	- Set server authentication request timeout
maxreq	- Set max number of EAP-Request retransmissions
raperiod	- Set reauthentication time interval
reauth	- Set reauthentication status to on or off
default	- Restore default 802.1x	configuration
cur	- Display current 802.1x	configuration

The global 802.1x menu allows you to configure parameters that affect all ports in the switch. The following table describes the 802.1x Global Configuration Menu options.

Table 112 802.1x Global Configuration Menu options

Command	Description
mode force-	Sets the type of access control for all ports:
unauthautoforce-auth	• force-unauth—the port is unauthorized unconditionally.
	• auto—the port is unauthorized until it is successfully authorized by the
	RADIUS server.
	• force-auth—the port is authorized unconditionally, allowing all traffic.
	The default value is force-auth.
qtperiod <0-65535>	Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before transmitting an EAP-
	Request/ Identity frame to the supplicant (client) after an authentication failure
	in the previous round of authentication. The default value is 60 seconds.
txperiod <1-65535>	Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-Response/Identity
	frame from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting an EAP-Request/Identity
	frame. The default value is 30 seconds.
suptmout <1-65535>	Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-Response packet
	from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting the EAP-Request packet to the
	authentication server. The default value is 30 seconds.
svrtmout <1-65535>	Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for a response from the Radius
	server before declaring an authentication timeout. The default value is 30
	seconds.
	The time interval between transmissions of the RADIUS Access-Request packet
	containing the supplicant’s (client’s) EAP-Response packet is determined by the
	current setting of /cfg/sys/radius/timeout (default is 3 seconds).
maxreq <1-10>	Sets the maximum number of times the authenticator retransmits an EAP-Request
	packet to the supplicant (client). The default value is 2.
raperiod <1-604800>	Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before re-authenticating a
	supplicant (client) when periodic re-authentication is enabled. The default value
	is 3600 seconds.
