Usage Guidelines You must enter the authentication port-control auto interface configuration command before
configuring a fallback method.
You can only configure web authentication as a fallback method to 802.1x or MAB, so one or both of
these authentication methods should be configured for the fallback to enable.
Examples This example shows how to specify a fallback profile on a port:
Switch(config-if)# authentication fallback profile1
You can verify your settings by entering the show authentication privileged EXEC command.
