Auth error on Port AUTH-ERROR auth_mgr_swsb

[dirar]

Hello,

I am getting the below Auth Error:

AUTH-ERROR: [Gi1/0/24] auth_mgr_swsb missing, Unable to get int policy configured status

Interface config:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
switchport access vlan 3

switchport mode access
!

Interface is connected to an Access point. Access point is working without known issues.

I have configured radius auth with windows using the below commands:

aaa new-model
!
!
aaa group server radius RSERVER
server-private 192.168.0.2 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 PASS

server-private 192.168.0.3 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 PASS
!
aaa authentication dot1x default group RSERVER


dot1x system-auth-control

Any Ideas?

Thank you

Hi @dirar ,

Do you want to configure authentication on the port 1/0/24?

Coz, at the moment, there are no authentication commands configured. If you do 'show auth session inter Gi1/0/24 detail', what do you see?

[dirar]

Actually no, the port 24 has no authentication but I keep getting the strange error I mentioned before

These logs are seen when you have authentication enabled globally on your device and the authentication manager is not able to validate the authentication policies or configuration from those interfaces. This can be because those interfaces are not configured to perform authentication.

These logs don't interfere on the authentication process and just indicate that the authentication manager is unable to retrieve the authentication configuration from the interfaces listed on the logs.

The ports configured to perform Dot1x authentication should be working normally and should be able to process Dot1x requests as normal.

Thank you for your answer. So to add in the interface:

dot1x port-control auto

or

authentication port-control auto

[poongarg]

It depends upon your switch SW version.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE and earlier- "dot1x port-control auto"

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE or later- "authentication port-control auto"
