Dot1X Authentication-Method - Huawei Quidway S8500 Series Command Manual

Command Manual – Security
Quidway S8500 Series Routing Switches
By default, 802.1x is disabled on all the ports and globally on the device.
When the dot1x command is used in system view, if the parameter interface-list is not
specified, 802.1x will be globally enabled. If the parameter interface-list is specified,
802.1x will be enabled on the specified port. When this command is used in Ethernet
port view, the parameter interface-list cannot be input and 802.1x can only be enabled
on the current port.
The configuration command can be used to configure the global or port 802.1x
performance parameters before or after 802.1x is enabled. Before 802.1x is enabled
globally, if the parameters are not configured globally or for a specified port, they will
maintain the default values.
After the global 802.1x performance is enabled, only when port 802.1x performance is
enabled will the configuration of 802.1x become effective on the port.
If 802.1x is enabled on a port, you cannot configure the maximum number of learned
MAC addresses (by using the mac-address max-mac-count command). and vice
versa.
Related command: display dot1x.
Example
# Enable 802.1x on Ethernet 3/1/1.
[Quidway] dot1x interface Ethernet 3/1/1
# Enable the 802.1x globally.
