Dot1x and authentication command doesn´t support in 2960x

[raulalejandroortegameza]

Hi all.

I have problem for configure dot1x and authentication interface command in a switch universal 2960x, the switch indicates that the command does not exist, inclusive when lan base license is in use and active.

 switch(config-if)#int gigabitEthernet 1/0/2
switch(config-if)#
switch(config-if)#
switch(config-if)#dot1x?
% Unrecognized command
switch(config-if)#authen?
% Unrecognized command
switch(config-if)#authen
 

do you know what could be the problem?, below are the version and license command.

Hi
Its available in my lanbase 2960 buts its not an X series , im running v12 though

and the docs say its available in your IOS version
did you try set switchport mode access first , sometimes commands require this first to work on l2 port ?
make sure port is in full access moe , with show int x/x switchport
