Dot1X Port-Method - HP A5500 EI Command Reference Manual

dot1x port-method

Syntax
In system view:
dot1x port-method { macbased | portbased } [ interface interface-list ]
undo dot1x port-method [ interface interface-list ]
In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view:
dot1x port-method { macbased | portbased }
undo dot1x port-method
View
System view, Layer 2 Ethernet interface view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
macbased: Uses MAC-based access control on a port to separately authenticate each user attempting to
access the network. In this approach, when an authenticated user logs off, no other online users are
affected.
portbased: Uses port-based access control on a port. In this approach, once an 802.1X user passes
authentication on the port, any subsequent user can access the network through the port without
authentication. When the authenticated user logs off, all other users are logged off.
interface interface-list: Specifies an Ethernet port list, which can contain multiple Ethernet ports. The
interface-list argument is in the format of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-
type interface-number ] } & <1- 1 0>, where interface-type represents the port type, interface-number
represents the port number, and & <1- 1 0> means that you can provide up to 10 ports or port ranges for
this argument. The start port number must be smaller than the end number and the two ports must be the
same type.
Description
Use the dot1x port-method command to specify an access control method for the specified or all ports.
Use the undo dot1x port-method command to restore the default.
By default, MAC-based access control applies.
In system view, if no interface-list argument is specified, the command applies to all ports.
Related commands: display dot1x.
