Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Purpose
Creates a password for the new username.
Forces the switch to send only multicast EAPOL packets
when it receives either unicast or multicast packets.
This also allows NEAT to work on the supplicant switch
in all host modes.
Specifies the port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Sets the port to trunk mode.
Configures the interface as a VLAN trunk port.
Configures the interface as a port access entity (PAE)
supplicant.
Attaches the 802.1x credentials profile to the interface.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
