Chapter 8 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a switch as an authenticator:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
cisp enable
Step 3 interface interface-id
Step 4 switchport mode access
Step 5 authentication port-control auto
Step 6
dot1x pae authenticator
Step 7
spanning-tree portfast
Step 8 end
Step 9 show running-config interface
interface-id
Step 10 copy running-config startup-config
This example shows how to configure a switch as an 802.1x authenticator:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# cisp enable
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# authentication port-control auto
Switch(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast trunk
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a switch as a supplicant:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 cisp enable
Step 3
dot1x credentials profile
Step 4
username suppswitch
Step 5 password password
Step 6 interface interface-id
Step 7 switchport trunk encapsulation
dot1q
Step 8 switchport mode trunk
Step 9
dot1x pae supplicant
Step 10 dot1x credentials profile-name
Step 11 end

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable CISP.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration
mode.
(Optional) Set the port mode to access.
Set the port-authentication mode to auto.
Configure the interface as a port access entity (PAE) authenticator.
Enable Port Fast on an access port connected to a single workstation or
server..
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable CISP.
Create 802.1x credentials profile. This must be attached to the port that
is configured as supplicant.
Create a username.
Create a password for the new username.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Set the port to trunk mode.
Configure the interface as a VLAN trunk port.
Configure the interface as a port access entity (PAE) supplicant.
Attach the 802.1x credentials profile to the interface.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
