TEJOS supports 802.1X ("dot1x") supplicant functionality on point-to-point ports. The administrator can configure the user name and password used in authentication and capabilities of the supplicant port.
dot1x pae
This command sets the port’s dot1x role. The port can serve as either a supplicant or an authenticator.
Format: dot1x pae {supplicant | authenticator}
Mode: Interface Config
dot1x supplicant port-control
This command sets the ports authorization state (Authorized or Unauthorized) either manually or by setting the port to auto-authorize upon startup. By default all the ports are authenticators. If the port’s attribute needs to be moved from <authenticator to supplicant> or <supplicant to authenticator>, use this command.
auto: The port is in the Unauthorized state until it presents its user name and password credentials to an authenticator. If the authenticator authorizes the port, then it is placed in the Authorized state.
force-authorized: Sets the authorization state of the port to Authorized, bypassing the authentication process.
force-unauthorized Sets the authorization state of the port to Unauthorized, bypassing the authentication process.
