Configuring 802.1X

Initializing an 802.1X Port

An 802.1X port may be reinitialized. This is useful if there is a problem on the port. The reinitialization
process drops connectivity with the supplicant and forces the supplicant to be re-authenticated. Connectiv-
ity is restored with successful re-authentication. To force an initialization, use the
command with the relevant slot/port number. For example:
-> 802.1x initialize 3/1
This command drops connectivity on port 1 of slot 3. The switch sends out a Request Identity message
and restores connectivity when the port is successfully re-authenticated.

Configuring Accounting for 802.1X

To log 802.1X sessions, use the
names; use the keyword local to specify that the Switch Logging function in the switch should be used to
log 802.1X sessions. RADIUS servers are configured with the
-> aaa accounting 802.1x rad1 local
In this example, the RADIUS server rad1 will be used for accounting. If rad1 becomes unavailable, the
local Switch Logging function in the switch will log 802.1X sessions. For more information about Switch
Logging, see Chapter 25, "Using Switch Logging."

Verifying the 802.1X Port Configuration

A summary of the show commands used for verifying the 802.1X port configuration is given here:
