no 802.1x interface commands on 3560 switch

[MARK BAKER]

I am trying to configure 802.1x wired on a 3560 switch and don't see the required commands under the interface. Does anyone no why this would be? I am running c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE6.bin. I was thinking it might not be available on the ipbase image, but I do have the commands on a 3750g running the ipbase image, so I'm not sure about that.

Thank you,

Mark

Hi,

take a look at this:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/sw8021x.html

Found out that you have to have the interface command "switchport mode access" configured in order to get the authentication or dot1x commands to show up.

Hi

You must to have enabled AAA on the Switch, and the Authentication method too.

Here is a simple Dot1x configuration.

SW# configure terminal

SW(config)# aaa new-model

SW(config)# dot1x system-auth-control

SW(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group radius

SW(config)# interface fastethernet0/1

SW(config-if)# switchport mode access

SW(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto

SW(config-if)# end

Hope this be usefull,  let me know if you still haven´t the command.

Carlos,

I had everything else that was available to configure. I just didn't have "switchport mode access" configured on the interface. Without that command the authentication and dot1x commands are not available.

Easy...

You just have to enter "switchport host" command, then you will see that authentication command works now.
