Configuring maximum NEAP clients

About this task

Use this procedure to configure the maximum NEAP clients allowed on the port at one time.

Procedure

  1. Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}

    Note

    Note

    If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

  2. Configure the maximum NEAP clients:
    eapol multihost non-eap-mac-max <0-8192>
    Note

    Note

    non-eap-mac-max is also used to provide EAP and NEAP separation functionality. By default the NEAP clients are enabled per port and non-eap-mac-max limit is 2. If non-eap-mac-max is set to 0 then NEAP client authentication is disabled.

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/1
Switch:1(config)#eapol multihost non-eap-mac-max 10
