IPBASE Image question

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

I was just doing a lab with dot1x when I noticed that I didn't have the options force-authorized or force-unauthorized or auto. this is what I had:

ACB21(config-if)#dot1x ?
  credentials     Credentials profile configuration
  default         Configure Dot1x with default values for this port
  max-reauth-req  Max No. of Reauthentication Attempts
  max-req         Max No. of Retries
  max-start       Max No. of EAPOL-Start requests
  pae             Set 802.1x interface pae type
  supplicant      Configure supplicant parameters
  timeout         Various Timeouts

What options do I have with the ipbase image? Do I need ipservices to implement dot1x on our network?

Thanks, Pat.

I figured it out

ACB21(config-if)#authentication port-control ?
  auto                PortState set to automatic
  force-authorized    PortState set to AUTHORIZED
  force-unauthorized  PortState set to UnAuthorized

Hi Patrick,

Yeah you are right. Thats the way we need to configure authentication in dot1x.

You can check which image supports which feature using the cisco feature navigator tool.
