3com WXR100 3CRWXR10095A User Manual

Certain settings for IEEE 802.1X sessions on the WX switch are enabled 
by default. For best results, change the settings only if you are aware of a 
problem with the WX switch’s 802.1X performance. For settings that you 
can reset with a clear command, MSS reverts to the default value.

See “Managing WEP Keys” on page 534 for information about changing 
the settings for Wired-Equivalent Privacy protocol (WEP) key rotation 
(rekeying).

A wired authentication port is an Ethernet port that has 802.1X 
authentication enabled for access control. Like wireless users, users that 
are connected to a WX switch by Ethernet wire can be authenticated 
before they can be authorized to use the network. One difference 
between a wired authenticated user and a wireless authenticated user is 
that data for wired users is not encrypted after the users are 
authenticated.

By default, 802.1X authentication is enabled for wired authenticated 
ports, but you can disable it. You can also set the port to unconditionally 
authorize, or unconditionally reject, all users.

The following command globally enables or disables 802.1X 
authentication on all wired authentication ports on a WX switch: 

set dot1x authcontrol {enable | disable}
