Enabling 802.1X

When you enable 802.1X, follow these guidelines:
•
For 802.1X to work correctly with MACsec, configure MACsec on the uplink Ethernet ports or on
the upstream devices. For information about MACsec, see "Configuring MACsec."
•
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.
•
Do not enable 802.1X on a port that is in a link aggregation or service loopback group.
