Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface

99

You can individually configure each of the ports of the Bridge’s 
internal LAN switch to require that a connected device is an 
802.1X supplicant successfully authenticated by the 802.1X 
authentication server configured for the Bridge (Section 6.4.9).

View current LAN port settings with the 

show

 command:

[GW]> 

Lan1:off
Lan2:off
Lan3:off
Lan4:off
Lan5:off
Lan6:off
Lan7:off
Lan8:off
AuthServer:127.0.0.1
AuthPort:1812

The 

Lan

 numbers shown correspond to the Bridge’s front-panel 

switch port labeling. By default, the 802.1X authentication 
requirement is turned 

off

 for all eight ports.

Use the 

set

 command with just the 

8021X

 argument to 

configure the 802.1X server interactively. The Bridge CLI 
presents one field at a time, and you can either backspace over 
the existing value for a given field and enter a new value or 
strike 

↵

 to leave the value unchanged and go on to the 

next field.

Alternatively, you can use the 

set 8021X

 command with valid 

arguments to change 802.1X LAN port settings:

[GW]> 

Changing LAN port settings requires you to reboot the Bridge 
to effect your changes.

 The 

show

 

8021X

 and 

set

 

8021X

 commands are valid only in 

GW (gateway) mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).
