Configuring Switch Ports To Operate As Supplicants for 802.1X Connections to Other Switches
identity and secret options to configure the RADIUS-expected credentials on
the supplicant port. If the intended authenticator port uses Local 802.1X
authentication, then use the identity and secret options to configure the
authenticator switch's local username and password on the supplicant port.
Syntax: aaa port-access supplicant [ethernet] < port-list >
To enable supplicant operation on the designated ports,
execute this command without any other parameters.
After doing this, you can use the command again with the
following parameters to configure supplicant opertion.
(Use one instance of the command for each parameter you
want to configure The no form disables supplicant opera­
tion on the designated port(s).
[identity < username >]
Sets the username and password to pass to the authenti­
cator port when a challenge-request packet is received from
the authenticator port due to an authentication request. If
the intended authenticator port is configured for RADIUS
authentication, then < username > and < password > must
be the username and password expected by the RADIUS
server. If the intended authenticator port is configured for
Local authentication, then < username > and < password >
must be the username and password configured on the
Authenticator switch. (Default: Null.)
aaa port-access supplicant [ethernet] < port-list > (Syntax Continued)
[secret]
Enter secret: < password >
Repeat secret: < password >
Sets the secret password to be used by the port supplicant
when an MD5 authentication request is received from an
authenticator. The switch prompts you to enter the secret
password after the command is invoked.
[auth-timeout < 1 - 300 >]
Sets the delay period the port waits to receive a challenge
from the authenticator. If the request times out, the port
sends another request, up to the number of attempts spec­
ified by the max-start parameter. (Default: 30 seconds).
