Basic config for Cisco Switch 802.1X

The “dot1x timeout tx-period 5″ was a pain to find because by default, the catalyst waits 30 seconds before authorising the port on the switch and in this time, the windows pc not having a DHCP address takes a self assigned address in 169.254.X.X.

Too lazy to write everything back over.. just get it from there..

Note that you don`t have to write all the lines.. when you type

aaa port-access authenticator 1-24
aaa port-access authenticator 1-24 unauth-vid 15

if create all the individual lines:
aaa port-access authenticator 1
aaa port-access authenticator 1 unauth-vid 15
aaa port-access authenticator 2
aaa port-access authenticator 2 unauth-vid 15
