Configuring Port-Based and Client-Based Access Control (802.1X)

Configuring Switch Ports as 802.1X Authenticators

6. Optionally Resetting Authenticator Operation

After authentication has begun operating, these commands can be used to reset authentication and related statistics on specific ports.

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list>

[initialize]

On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound traffic and restarts the 802.1X authentication process. This happens only on ports configured with control auto and actively operating as 802.1X authenticators.

[reauthenticate]

On the specified ports, forces reauthentication (unless the authenticator is in “HELD” state).

[clear-statistics]

On the specified ports, clears authenticator statistics counters.
