clear dot1x

Syntax

Release Information

Command introduced in JUNOS Release 9.0 for EX-series switches.

Description

Reset the authentication state of a port. When you reset a port, reauthentication on the port is also triggered. The switch sends out a multicast message on the port to restart the authentication of all connected supplicants. If a MAC address is reset, then the switch sends out a unicast message to that specific MAC address to restart authentication.

If a supplicant is sending traffic when the clear dot1x interface command is issued, the authenticator immediately initiates reauthenticataion. This process happens very quickly, and it may seem that reauthentication did not occur. To verify that reauthentication has happened, issue the operational mode command show dot1x interface detail. The value for Reauthentication due and Reauthentication interval will be about the same.

Options
