Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the group of servers to be used for IEEE 802.1X or MAC RADIUS authentication for Port-Based Network Access Control, configure interfaces for 802.1x authentication, and configure static MAC bypass for 802.1x and MAC RADIUS authentication. 802.1X authentication is supported on interfaces that are members of private VLANs (PVLANs).

Note:

You cannot configure 802.1X user authentication on interfaces that have been enabled for Q-in-Q tunneling.

Default

802.1X authentication is disabled.

Options

authentication-profile-name access-profile-name

Specify the name of the access profile to be used for 802.1X or MAC RADIUS user authentication. The access profile is configured at the [edit access profile] hierarchy level and contains the RADIUS server IP address and other information used for authentication.

Note:

Access profile configuration is required only for 802.1X clients, not for static MAC clients.

  • Default: No access profile is specified.

ip-mac-session-binding

Configure the switching device to check for an IP-MAC address binding in the DHCP, DHCPv6, or SLAAC snooping table before terminating the authentication session when the MAC address ages out. If the MAC address for the end device is bound to an IP address, then it will be retained in the Ethernet switching table, and the authentication session will remain active.

To configure this feature, you must also disassociate the authentication session table from the Ethernet switching table using the no-mac-table-binding statement. This extends the authentication session until the next re-authentication period.

Note:

This feature requires DHCP, DHCPv6, or SLAAC snooping to be enabled on the device.

  • Default: Not enabled

no-mac-table-binding

Specify that the device not remove the session from the authentication session table when the MAC address ages out of the Ethernet switching table.

  • Default: Not enabled
