802.1x Port Commands
802.1x Port Commands
tunneling
Syntax [no] tunneling
Context config>port>ethernet>dot1x
Description This command allows user to enable tunneling of dot1x frames. With dot1x tunneling enabled, dot1x frames
received on the port are transparently forwarded to the remote end of the service. To forwards dot1x frames
transparently the port on which tunneling is enabled must be configured with NULL SAP and the NULL
SAP must be configured in an Epipe service. Tunneling is not supported for any other port encapsulation or
when using any other service.
Additionally, dot1x protocol must be disabled on the port (using the command configure> port> ethernet>
dot1x> port-control force-auth) before dot1x tunneling can be enabled using this command. If dot1x is
configured to use either force-unauath or auto, then dot1x tunneling cannot be enabled. The converse, that is,
if dot1x tunneling is enabled, then user cannot configure either force-unauth or auto.
The no form of the command disables dot1x tunneling.
Default
no tunneling

RADIUS message to the RADIUS server. If a reply is not received from the RADIUS server after the
specified number attempts, the 802.1x authentication procedure is considered to have failed.
The no form of this command returns the value to the default.
Default
