Chapter 42 Configuring IEEE 802.1X Port-Based Authentication

Manually Reauthenticating the Client Connected to a Port

Reauthentication does not disturb the status of an already authorized port.
Note
To manually reauthenticate the client connected to a port, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router# dot1x re-authenticate
1
interface type
Step 2
Router# show dot1x all
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
This example shows how to manually reauthenticate the client connected to Fast Ethernet port 5/1:
Router# dot1x re-authenticate interface fastethernet 5/1
Starting reauthentication on FastEthernet 5/1

Initializing Authentication for the Client Connected to a Port

Initializing authentication disables any existing authentication before authenticating the client connected
Note
to the port.
To initialize the authentication for the client connected to a port, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router# dot1x initialize
1
interface type
Step 2
Router# show dot1x all
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
This example shows how to initialize the authentication for the client connected to Fast Ethernet
port 5/1:
Router# dot1x initialize interface fastethernet 5/1
Starting reauthentication on FastEthernet 5/1

Changing the Quiet Period

When the switch cannot authenticate the client, the switch remains idle for a set period of time, and then
tries again. The idle time is determined by the quiet-period value. A failed authentication of the client
might occur because the client provided an invalid password. You can provide a faster response time to
the user by entering a smaller number than the default.
