Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X)
Configuring Switch Ports To Operate As Supplicants for 802.1X Connections to Other Switches
11-50
[max-start < 1 - 10 >]
Defines the maximum number of times the supplicant port
requests authentication. See step 1 on page 11-47 for a
description of how the port reacts to the authenticator
response. (Default: 3).
[held-period < 0 - 65535 >]
Sets the time period the supplicant port waits after an
active 802.1X session fails before trying to re- acquire the
authenticator port. (Default: 60 seconds)
[start-period < 1 - 300 >]
Sets the delay between Start packet retransmissions. That
is, after a supplicant sends a start packet, it waits during
the start-period for a response. If no response comes during
the start- period, the supplicant sends a new start packet.
The max-start setting (above) specifies how many start
attempts are allowed in the session. (Default: 30 seconds)
aaa port-access supplicant [ethernet] < port-list >
[initialize]
On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound traf­
fic and restarts the 802.1X authentication process. Affects
only ports configured as 802.1X supplicants.
[clear-statistics]
Clears and restarts the 802.1X supplicant statistics
counters.
