Operations-level port 802.1x options
Operations-level port 802.1x options are used to temporarily set 802.1x parameters for a port.
Table 178 Operations-Level Port 802.1x commands
Command Description
interface port <port
number> dot1x init
Re-initializes the 802.1x access-control parameters for the port. The
following actions take place,
depending on the 802.1x port configuration:
• force unauth—the port is placed in unauthorized state, and traffic is
blocked.
• auto—the port is placed in unauthorized state, then authentication is
initiated.
• force auth—the port is placed in authorized state, and authentication
is not required.
Command Mode: Privileged EXEC
interface port {<port
number>} dot1x re-
authenticate
Re-authenticates the supplicant (client) attached to the port. This command
only applies if the port’s 802.1x mode is configured as auto.
Command Mode: Privileged EXEC
Operations-level VRRP options
Operations-level VRRP options are described in the following table.
Table 179 Operations-Level VRRP commands
Command Description
router vrrp backup <1-256>
Forces the specified master virtual router on this switch into backup mode.
This is generally used for passing master control back to a preferred switch
once the preferred switch has been returned to service after a failure. When
this command is executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a
new election by temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest).
After the new election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by this
command will resume master control in the following cases:
• This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router
and its IP interface are the same)
• This switch’s virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is
enabled.
• There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
Command Mode: Privileged EXEC
