Quidway S3900 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510
configurations when enabling 802.1x globally, the switch adopts the default 802.1x
settings.
802.1x-related configurations take effect on a port only after 802.1x is enabled both
globally and on the port.
Configurations of 8021.x and the maximum number of MAX addresses that can be
learnt are mutually exclusive. This means that when 802.1x is enabled for a port, it
cannot also have the maximum number of MAX addresses to be learned configured at
the same time. And if you configure the maximum number of MAX addresses that can
be learnt for a port, 802.1x is unavailable to it.
Related command: display dot1x.
