Enabling and Disabling 802.1X Network Login

Network Login must be disabled on a port before you can delete a VLAN (Virtual LAN) that contains that port. You can set a reauthentication maximum counter value to indicate the number of reauthentication trials after which the supplicant is denied access or given limited access.

  • To enable 802.1X network login on the switch, use the following command:
    enable netlogin dot1x Any combination of types of authentication can be enabled on the same switch. At least one of the authentication types must be specified on the CLI.
  • To disable 802.1X network login on the switch, use the following command:
    disable netlogin dot1x

  • To disable 802.1X network login on one or more ports, use the following command:
