(config network interface my_lan)> 802_1x authentication enable true
(config network interface my_lan)>

(config network interface my_lan)> 802_1x authentication ip IPv4_
address
(config network interface my_lan)>
c. Set the password for the authentication server:
(config network interface my_lan)> 802_1x authentication password
password
(config network interface my_lan)>
d. The authentication server port number defaults to 1812. To set an alternate port number:
(config network interface my_lan)> 802_1x authentication port port
(config network interface my_lan)>
e. Set the frequency period for reauthorization:
(config network interface my_lan)> 802_1x authentication reauth_period
