View
System view, Ethernet port view
Parameter
interface-list: Ethernet interface list expressed in the format interface-list
=interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] &<1-10>.
interface-type means the interface type, interface-number is the interface number.
Refer to command parameters in the "Port" section in the manual for the
respective meanings and value ranges of them. The interface number after the key
word to should be no smaller than the interface number before to. &<1-10> in
the command means that the preceding parameter can be entered up to 10 times.
Description
Use the dot1x command to enable 802.1x on the specified port or globally (i.e.,
on the current device).
Use the undo dot1x command to disable the 802.1x on the specified port or
globally.
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.

# Enable the 802.1x globally.
