Configuring 802.1X For A Port - H3C S5500-SI Series Operation Manual

will take effect instead of that specified on the device. The re-authentication interval assignment
varies by server type. Refer to the specific authentication server implementation for further details.

Configuring 802.1X for a Port

Enabling 802.1X for a port
Follow these steps to enable 802.1X for a port:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable
802.1X for
one or more
ports
Configuring 802.1X parameters for a port
Follow these steps to configure 802.1X parameters for a port:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet interface view
Set the port access control
mode for the port
Set the port access control
method for the port
Set the maximum number of
users for the port
Enable online user handshake
Enable the online handshake
security function
Enable multicast trigger
Specify the mandatory
authentication domain for the
port
Note that:
Enabling 802.1X on a port is mutually exclusive with adding the port to an aggregation group.
In EAP relay authentication mode, the device encapsulates the 802.1X user information in the EAP
attributes of RADIUS packets and sends the packets to the RADIUS server for authentication. In
this case, you can configure the user-name-format command but it does not take effect. For
