Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies the port to be configured, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Enables 802.1x authentication with WoL on the port, and use
these keywords to configure the port as bidirectional or
unidirectional.
• both—Sets the port as bidirectional. The port cannot
receive packets from or send packets to the host. By
default, the port is bidirectional.
• in—Sets the port as unidirectional. The port can send
packets to the host but cannot receive packets from the
host.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
