Syntax showing as deprecated SW17.06.05

[TraffB]

Hello,I am trying to input the following config lines into a new stack of 9300's that I have. The stack is currently working on SW version 17.06.05. However, when I try and input the configuration it tells me the commands are deprecated and to use 'access-session' instead.

authentication control-direction in
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication event server dead action authorize
authentication event server dead action authorize voice
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication host-mode multi-domain

I am slightly confused as I have another stack of 9300's on the same SW version, which has this configuration on the ports. So surely the syntax cannot be deprecated if it working on another switch?

If it is deprecated, and I am to use 'access-session'. What would the equivalent terminal output be to achieve

authentication event server dead action authorize
authentication event server dead action authorize voice

Thank you

 - Strange , I have been examing https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9300/software/release/17-6/command_reference/b_176_9300_cr.pdf and look for access-session with find in the browser.
             A number of commands show up but I can't find anything related.

This is likely because your older switch is using the legacy mode while the newer switch is using the new-style (which is recommended).

See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ibns/configuration/15-e/ibns-15-e-book/ibns-cntrl-pol.html#concept_0204CA614AEC450CA5A3CC060D3E878F

Best practice is to use the new-style (IBNS 2.0) with the configuration based on what is defined in the ISE Secure Wired Access Prescriptive Deployment Guide .
