Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X User Distribution
To configure a VLAN group and map a VLAN to it, perform these tasks in privileged mode:
Task
Configure a VLAN group and map a single VLAN
or a range of VLANs to it.
Verify the configuration.
Clear the VLAN group configuration or elements
of the VLAN group configuration.
This example shows how to configure the VLAN groups, map the VLANs to the groups, and verify that
the VLAN groups were configured and mapped to the specified VLANs:
Console> (enable) set dot1x vlan-group eng-dept 10
Vlan group name eng-dept is successfully configured and mapped to vlan 10
Console> (enable) set dot1x vlan-group hr-dept 20
Vlan group name hr-dept is successfully configured and mapped to vlan 20
Console> (enable) show dot1x vlan-group eng-dept
Group Name
-------------
eng-dept
Console> (enable) show dot1x vlan-group all
Group Name
-------------
eng-dept
hr-dept
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to add a VLAN to an existing VLAN group and verify that the VLAN was
added:
Console> (enable) set dot1x vlan-group eng-dept 30
Vlan 30 is successfully mapped to vlan group eng-dept.
Console> (enable) show dot1x vlan-group eng-dept
Group Name
-------------
eng-dept
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to clear a VLAN from a VLAN group:
Console> (enable) clear dot1x vlan-group eng-dept 10
Vlan 10 is successfully cleared from vlan group eng-dept.
Console> (enable)
This example shows that when all the VLANs are cleared from a VLAN group, the VLAN group is
cleared:
Console> (enable) clear dot1x vlan-group eng-dept 30
Vlan 30 is successfully cleared from vlan group eng-dept.
Warning: No more vlans mapped to this group, vlan group is cleared.
Console> (enable) show dot1x vlan-group eng-dept
Vlan group eng-dept doesn't exist, can not display.
Console> (enable)
