1.1.10 dot1x port-method

Syntax
dot1x port-method { macbased | portbased } [ interface interface-list ]
undo dot1x port-method [ interface interface-list ]
View
System view, Ethernet port view
Parameter
macbased: Performs MAC address-based authentication.
portbased: Performs port-based authentication.
interface-list: Ethernet port list, in the form of interface-list= { interface-type
interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] } &<1-10>, in which
interface-type specifies the type of an Ethernet port and interface-number is the
number of the port. The string "&<1-10>" means that up to 10 port lists can be provided.
Description
Use the dot1x port-method command to specify the access control method for
specified Ethernet ports.
Use the undo dot1x port-method command to revert to the default access control
method.
By default, the access control method is macbased.
This command specifies the way in which the users are authenticated.
If you specify to authenticate users by MAC addresses (that is, executing the
dot1x port-method command with the macbased keyword specified), all the
users connected to the specified Ethernet ports are authenticated separately. And
if an online user logs off, others are not affected.
If you specify to authenticate supplicant systems by port numbers (that is,
executing the dot1x port-method command with the portbased keyword
specified), all the users connected to a specified Ethernet port are able to access
the network without being authenticated if a user among them passes the
authentication. And when the user logs off, the network is inaccessible to all other
supplicant systems either.
Changing the access control method on a port by the dot1x port-method command
will forcibly log out the online 802.1x users on the port.
In system view:
If you do not provide the interface-list argument, these two commands apply to all
the ports of the switch.
