Description
Use dot1x unicast-trigger to enable the 802.1X unicast trigger function.
Use undo dot1x unicast-trigger to disable the function.
By default, the unicast trigger function is disabled.
The unicast trigger function enables the network access device to initiate 802.1X authentication when it receives a data frame from an unknown source MAC address. The device sends a unicast Identity EAP/Request packet to the unknown source MAC address, and retransmits the packet if it has received no response within a period of time (set with the dot1x timer tx-period command). This process continues until the maximum number of request attempts (set with the dot1x retry command) is reached.
Related commands: display dot1x, dot1x timer tx-period, and dot1x retry.
