Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication with WoL
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable 802.1x authentication with WoL. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
authentication control-direction {both
| in}
Step 4
end
Step 5
show authentication interface
interface-id
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable 802.1x authentication with WoL, use the no authentication control-direction interface
configuration command.
This example shows how to enable 802.1x authentication with WoL and set the port as bidirectional:
Switch(config-if)# authentication control-direction both
Configuring MAC Authentication Bypass
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable MAC authentication bypass. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
authentication port-control auto
Step 4
authentication order [mab] {webauth} Set the order of authentication methods.
Step 5
end

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
For the supported port types, see the
Configuration Guidelines" section on page
Enable 802.1x authentication with WoL on the port, and use these
keywords to configure the port as bidirectional or unidirectional.
both—Sets the port as bidirectional. The port cannot receive packets
•
from or send packets to the host. By default, the port is bidirectional.
in—Sets the port as unidirectional. The port can send packets to the
•
host but cannot receive packets from the host.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
For the supported port types, see the
Configuration Guidelines" section on page
Enable 802.1x authentication on the port.
mab—Add MAC authentication bypass (MAB) to the order of
•
authentication methods.
webauth—Add web authentication to the order of authentication
•
methods.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
