Configuring Mac Authentication Bypass - Cisco Catalyst 3120 Software Manual

Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication
Command
Step 3 dot1x control-direction {both | in}
Step 4
end
Step 5
show dot1x interface interface-id
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
To disable IEEE 802.1x authentication with WoL, use the no dot1x control-direction interface
configuration command.
This example shows how to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication with WoL and set the port as
bidirectional:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x control-direction both

Configuring MAC Authentication Bypass

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable MAC authentication bypass. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface-id
Step 3 dot1x port-control auto
Step 4 dot1x mac-auth-bypass [eap]
Step 5
end
Step 6 show dot1x interface interface-id
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config
To disable MAC authentication bypass, use the no dot1x mac-auth-bypass interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to enable MAC authentication bypass:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x mac-auth-bypass

Purpose
Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication with WoL on the port, and use these
keywords to configure the port as bidirectional or unidirectional.
• both—Sets the port as bidirectional. The port cannot receive packets
from or send packets to the host. By default, the port is bidirectional.
• in—Sets the port as unidirectional. The port can send packets to the
host but cannot receive packets from the host.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
For the supported port types, see the
Configuration Guidelines" section on page
Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on the port.
Enable MAC authentication bypass.
(Optional) Use the eap keyword to configure the switch to use EAP for
authorization.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
