Usage Guidelines
The command causes 802.1x switch to send Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-request/identity
frame from the authenticator (switch) each tx-period automatically. It is recommended to activate this
command only in case there is at least one device with not full 802.1x functionality connected to port
(for example Windows EX with Service Pack 2). In addition it is recommended to increase dot1x timeout
tx-period to reduce the overhead during the processing of supplicant responses on switch.
Examples
Console(config-if)# dot1x send-async-request-id
Console(config-if)#
show dot1x
The show dot1x Privileged EXEC mode command displays the 802.1X status of the device or specified
interface.
