dot1x logging enable

Enables the output of IEEE 802.1X operation log information to a syslog server.

dot1x loglevel

Specifies the message level to write to the operation log.

dot1x max-req

dot1x vlan max-req

Specifies the maximum number of times that the switch sends an EAP-Request/Identity packet when there is no response from the supplicant.

dot1x max-supplicant

dot1x vlan max-supplicant

dot1x vlan dynamic max-supplicant

Specifies the maximum number of authenticated users permitted per authentication unit.

dot1x supplicant-detection

dot1x vlan supplicant-detection

dot1x vlan dynamic supplicant-detection

Configures how terminal detection is performed when terminal authentication mode is specified as the authentication sub-mode.

dot1x system-auth-control

Enables IEEE 802.1X.

dot1x timeout keep-unauth

In the context of port-based authentication in single-terminal mode, this command configures how long the port blocks traffic after receiving authentication requests from multiple terminals.

dot1x timeout quiet-period

dot1x vlan timeout quiet-period

dot1x vlan dynamic timeout quiet-period

Configures how long the switch waits before allowing a supplicant that failed authentication (including re-authentication) to try again.

dot1x timeout reauth-period

dot1x vlan timeout reauth-period

dot1x vlan dynamic timeout reauth-period

Specifies the interval between re-authentication attempts for authenticated terminals.

dot1x timeout server-timeout

dot1x vlan timeout server-timeout

dot1x vlan dynamic timeout server-timeout

Specifies how long the switch waits for a response from the authentication server.

dot1x timeout supp-timeout

dot1x vlan timeout supp-timeout

dot1x vlan dynamic timeout supp-timeout

Configures how long the switch waits for a supplicant to respond to an EAP-Request/Identity packet.

dot1x timeout tx-period

dot1x vlan timeout tx-period

dot1x vlan dynamic timeout tx-period

Specifies the sending interval for EAP-Request/Identity packets.

dot1x vlan enable

Enables VLAN-based authentication (static).

dot1x vlan dynamic enable

Enables VLAN-based authentication (dynamic).

dot1x vlan dynamic radius-vlan

In the context of VLAN-based authentication (dynamic), this command specifies the VLANs that the switch can dynamically assign on the basis of information received from the RADIUS server.
