Introduction

Overview 802.1X is an IEEE standard providing a mechanism for authenticating devices
attached to a LAN port or wireless device. Devices wishing to access services
behind a port must authenticate themselves before any Ethernet packets are
allowed to pass through. The protocol is referred to as 802.1X because it was
initially defined in the IEEE standard 802.1X, published in 2001 and revised in 2004
and again as the current 802.1X 2010 standard.
This chapter provides an alphabetical reference of commands used to configure
802.1X port access control. For more information, see the
