Configuring Flexible Authentication Ordering; Configuring Open1X - Cisco Catalyst 2960 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring 802.1x Authentication

Configuring Flexible Authentication Ordering

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
authentication order [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 4
authentication priority [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 5
show authentication
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
This example shows how to configure a port attempt 802.1x authentication first, followed by web
authentication as fallback method:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config)# authentication order dot1x webauth

Configuring Open1x

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3 authentication control-direction {both | in}
Step 4 authentication fallback name
Step 5 authentication host-mode [multi-auth |
multi-domain | multi-host | single-host]
Step 6 authentication open
Step 7 authentication order [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 8 authentication periodic
Step 9 authentication port-control {auto |
force-authorized | force-un authorized}
