Default 802.1x Configuration (continued)
When the 802.1x protocol is enabled, ports are authenticated before any other Layer 2 feature is
enabled.
The 802.1x protocol is supported on Layer 2 static-access ports, but it is not supported on these port
types:
Trunk port—If you try to enable 802.1x on a trunk port, an error message appears, and 802.1x
–
is not enabled. If you try to change the mode of an 802.1x-enabled port to trunk, the port mode
is not changed.
– Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination port—You can enable 802.1x on a port that is a SPAN
destination port; however, 802.1x is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination.
You can enable 802.1x on a SPAN source port.
