dot1x host-mode command is not available...

Hi Guys,

I am not able to find a command (dot1x host-mode multi-host) on the interface. any idea, why is the switch not supporting it ? and how to make it available on the switch ?

Switch "show ver" output -

Hi,

Since 12.2(50)SE IOS Authentication Manager CLI commands substitute some earlier 802.1x commands. Will you please try the command "authentication host-mode multi-host" instead. For more details plese see the link beneath (relevant to your IOS version):
