Configuring 802.1X Timeouts On Specific Interface Ports; Configuring 802.1X Re-Authentication On Specific Interface Ports; Disabling 802.1X On Specific Interface Ports - Brocade Communications Systems Converged Enhanced Ethernet 8000 Administrator's Manual

2. Use the interface command to select the interface port to modify.
3. Use the dot1x authentication command to enable 802.1x authentication.
4. Enter the copy command to save the running-config file to the startup-config file.

Configuring 802.1x timeouts on specific interface ports

NOTE
While you are free to modify the timeouts, Brocade recommends that you leave timeouts set to their
default values.
To configure 802.1x timeout attributes on a specific interface port, perform the following steps
from privileged EXEC mode. Repeat this task for each interface port you wish to modify.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Use the interface command to select the interface port to modify.
3. Configure the timeout interval.
Configuring 802.1x re-authentication
on specific interface ports
To configure 802.1x port re-authentication on a specific interface port, perform the following steps
from privileged EXEC mode. Repeat this task for each interface port you wish to modify.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Use the interface command to select the interface port to modify.
3. Enable 802.1x authentication for the interface port.
4. Configure reauthentication for the interface port.

Disabling 802.1x on specific interface ports

To disable 802.1x authentication on a specific interface port, perform the following steps from
privileged EXEC mode.
