port-auth supplicant [username <username> | password <password>]
Use the port-auth supplicant command to enable supplicant functionality and to specify the username
and password used for IEEE 802.1x port authentication. The supplicant is the port that will receive services
from the port authenticator.
Syntax Description
username <username>
password <password>
Default Values
By default, this command disabled.
Functional Notes
If your network infrastructure is configured to use 802.1x on every port, configure the router to function as
an 802.1x client. The router (when configured as a 802.1x client) passes username and password
information to the connected switch allowing the switch to authenticate the user (router) and enable the
port.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the username to User1 and sets the password to securePass for Ethernet
interface 0/2:
ProCurve(config)#int eth 0/2
ProCurve(config-eth 0/2)#port-auth supplicant username User1 password securePass
5991-2114
Specifies the username to use during the authentication process. The default
username is username.
Specifies the password to use during the authentication process. The default
password is password.
