When this device is functioning as intermediate node in the network
◆
and does not need to perform dot1x authentication, the dot1x eapol
pass-through command can be used to forward EAPOL frames from
other switches on to the authentication servers, thereby allowing the
authentication process to still be carried out by switches located on the
edge of the network.
When this device is functioning as an edge switch but does not require
◆
any attached clients to be authenticated, the no dot1x eapol-pass-
through command can be used to discard unnecessary EAPOL traffic.
E
XAMPLE
This example instructs the switch to pass all EAPOL frame through to any
ports in STP forwarding state.
Console(config)#dot1x eapol-pass-through
Console(config)#
