Configuring 802.1x Authentication
Configuring Flexible Authentication Ordering
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
authentication order [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 4
authentication priority [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 5
show authentication
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
This example shows how to configure a port attempt 802.1x authentication first, followed by web
authentication as fallback method:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config)# authentication order dot1x webauth
Configuring Open1x
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
authentication control-direction {both | in}
Step 4
authentication fallback name
Step 5
authentication host-mode [multi-auth |
multi-domain | multi-host | single-host]
Step 6
authentication open
Step 7
authentication order [dot1x | mab] |
{webauth}
Step 8
authentication periodic
Step 9
authentication port-control {auto |
force-authorized | force-un authorized}
