Resetting The 802.1X Configuration To The Default Values; Displaying 802.1X Status - Cisco 6500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 25 Configuring IEEE 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
To allow multiple hosts (clients) on an 802.1X-authorized port that has the dot1x port-control interface
configuration command set to auto, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface type
Step 2
Router(config-if)# dot1x multi-hosts
Router(config-if)# no dot1x multi-hosts
Step 3
Router(config-if)# end
Step 4
Router# show dot1x interface type
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
This example shows how to enable 802.1X on Fast Ethernet interface 5/1 and to allow multiple hosts:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 5/1
Router(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto
Router(config-if)# dot1x multi-hosts

Resetting the 802.1X Configuration to the Default Values

To reset the 802.1X configuration to the default values, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface type
Step 2
Router(config-if)# dot1x default
Step 3
Router(config-if)# end
Step 4
Router# show dot1x all
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet

Displaying 802.1X Status

To display global 802.1X administrative and operational status for the switch, use the show dot1x
privileged EXEC command. To display the 802.1X administrative and operational status for a specific
interface, use the show dot1x interface interface-id privileged EXEC command.
For detailed information about the fields in these displays, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
