Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

Managing login permissions4. Use the set dot1x system-auth-control enable command to enable 802.1xauthentication on all ports set to auto mode. For example:G350-001(super)# set dot1x system-auth-control enableTo disable 802.1x authentication on the G350, use the command set dot1xsystem-auth-control disable.Once the authentication process is enabled, the process proceeds as follows:- The Supplicant is asked to supply a user name and password.- If 802.1x authentication is enabled on the port, the Authenticator initiates authenticationwhen the link is up.- When authentication is completed, the Supplicant receives a Permit/Deny notification.- Authentication fails if:- the Supplicant fails to respond to requests from the Authenticator- Management controls prevent the port from being authorized- The link is down- The user supplied incorrect login information.5. For additional security, use the set port dot1x re-authentication command,followed by the module and port number (or a range of ports) to enable re-authentication ona port or a group of ports. By default, re-authentication is disabled. For example:G350-001(super)# set port dot1x re-authentication 6/4-6 enableTo disable re-authentication, use this command set port dot1x re-authenticationmodule/port disable.6. By default, the re-authentication period is 3600 seconds. In other words, if re-authenticationis enabled on a port, the port attempts to re-authenticate the host every 3600 seconds. Tochange the re-authentication period, use the set dot1x re-authperiod command,followed by the length of the new re-authentication period in seconds (0 to 65535).
