Syntax:


show port-access authenticator config [port-list]

Displays 802.1X port-access authenticator configuration settings, including:

  • Whether port-access authentication is enabled.

  • Whether RADIUS-assigned dynamic VLANs are supported.

  • 802.1X configuration of ports that are enabled as 802.1X authenticators. Use the show running command to view the current client-limit configuration available for switches.

You can display 802.1X port-access authenticator configuration for all switch ports or specified ports. 802.1X configuration information for ports that are not enabled as 802.1X authenticators is not displayed.

Description

Port-access authenticator activated

802.1X authentication enabled/disabled status for specified ports.

Port

Port number on switch.

Re-auth Period

Time period (in seconds) after which clients connected to the port must be reauthenticated.

Access Control

Authentication mode of port: Auto: Network access is allowed to any connected device that supports 802.1X authentication and provides valid 802.1X credentials. Authorized: Network access is allowed to any device connected to the port, regardless of whether it meets 802.1X criteria. Unauthorized: Network access is blocked to any device connected to the port, regardless of whether the device meets 802.1X criteria.

Max reqs

Number of authentication attempts that must time out before authentication fails and the authentication session ends.

Quiet Period

Time period (in seconds) during which the port does not try to acquire a supplicant.

TX Timeout

Time period (in seconds) that the port waits to retransmit the next EAPOL PDU during an authentication session.

Supplicant Timeout

Time period (in seconds) that the switch waits for a supplicant response to an EAP request.

Server Timeout

Time period (in seconds) that the switch waits for a server response to an authentication request.

Cntrl Dir

Direction in which flow of incoming and outgoing traffic is blocked on 802.1X-aware port that has not yet entered the authenticated state: Both: Incoming and outgoing traffic is blocked on port until authentication occurs. In: Only incoming traffic is blocked on port before authentication occurs. Outgoing traffic with unknown destination addresses is flooded on the unauthenticated 802.1X-aware port.
