This section describes the commands you use to configure port-based network access control (IEEE 802.1X and Authentication Manager). Port-based network access control allows you to permit access to network services only to and devices that are authorized and authenticated.
The IEEE 802.1X version has been upgraded from the 2004 standard to the 2010 standard. The authenticator and supplicant PACP state machines now comply with the 2010 standard.
Due to this migration, several IEEE 802.1X (dot1x) commands have been deprecated. For information about the deprecated commands, see Deprecated IEEE 802.1X Commands.
