Enabling 802.1X

For 802.1X to take effect on a port, you must enable it both globally and on the port.

Do not enable 802.1X on a port that is in a service loopback group.

If the PVID is a voice VLAN, the 802.1X feature cannot take effect on the port. For more information about voice VLANs, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
