Default Configuration
The default behavior of the "aaa authentication" for dot1.x is "failed to authenticate". If the 8021.x
calls the AAA for authentication services it will receive a fail status.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode.
User Guidelines
• The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error,
for example the authentication server is down, and not if the request for authenticate is denied
access. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify
none as the final method in the command line.
• The radius server must support MD-5 challenge and EAP type frames.
