CLI Configuration for 802.1x and MAC AuthenticationNEW!

To enable 802.1x and MAC authentication on the same port using the command-line interface, configure the following values.
  1. Set the timeout sense value.
    This value is used to determine whether 802.1x is enabled on the client, by checking whether the port received EAP/EAPOL packets after the port was connected. Valid values are between 10 and 255 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
    (config)#dot1x timeout sense-period <10-255>
  2. Specify sense on the dot1x port-control command.
    (config-if)# dot1x port-control sense
The port is now configured to enable either 802.1x or MAC authentication.
