Introduction
This document describes how to configure, validate and troubleshoot 802.1x network access control (NAC) on Catalyst 9000 series switches.
Prerequisites
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics.
- Catalyst 9000 series switches
- Identity Services Engine (ISE)
Components Used
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
- Catalyst 9300
- Catalyst 9400
- Catalyst 9500
- Catalyst 9600
- Cisco IOS® XE 17.6.x and later
- ISE-VM-K9 version 3.0.0.458
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Note: Consult the appropriate configuration guide for the commands that are used in order to enable these features on other Cisco platforms.
Background Information
The 802.1x standard defines a client-server-based access control and authentication protocol that prevents unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports unless they are properly authenticated. The authentication server authenticates each client connected to a switch port before making available any services offered by the switch or the LAN.
802.1x authentication involves 3 distinct components:
Supplicant - Client that submits credentials for authentication
Authenticator - The network device that provides network connectivity between the client and the network and can allow or block network traffic.
Authentication Server — Server that can receive and respond to requests for network access, tells the authenticator if the connection can be allowed and various other settings that would apply to the authentication session.
The intended audience for this document are engineers and support personnel who are not necessarily security-focused.. For more information about 802.1x Port-Based Authentication and components such as ISE, consult the appropriate configuration guide.
Note: Consult the appropriate configuration guide for your specific platform and version of code for the most accurate default 802.1x authentication configuration.
Basic Configuration
This section describes the basic configuration required to implement 802.1x port-based authentication. Additional feature explanation can be found within the addendums tab of this document. There are slight variations in configuration standards from version to version. Validate your configuration against your current version configuration guide.
Authentication, authorization and account (AAA) must be enabled prior to configuring 802.1x post-based authentication, and a method list must be established.
- Method lists describe the sequence and authentication method to be queried to authenticate a user.
- 802.1x must also be enabled globally.

Verify Configuration and Operations
This section provides background information on 801.1x, and how to verify configuration and operations.
Introduction to 802.1x
802.1x involves two distinct types of traffic- Client to Authenticator (point-to-point) traffic over EAPoL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) and Authenticator to Authentication Server traffic that is encapsulated via RADIUS.
This diagram represents data flow for a simple dot1x transaction
The Authenticator (switch) and Authentication Server (ISE, for example) are often separated by Layer 3. RADIUS traffic is routed over the network between authenticator and server. EAPoL traffic is exchanged on the direct link between supplicant (client) and authenticator.
Note that MAC learning occurs after authentication and authorization.
Here are a few questions to keep in mind as you approach a problem that involves 802.1x:
- Is it configured correctly?
- Is the authentication server reachable?
- What is the status of the Authentication Manager?
- Are there any problems with packet deliverability between client and authenticator or between authenticator and authentication server?
Configuration
Some configurations vary slightly between major releases. Refer to the relevant configuration guide for platform/code-specific guidance.
AAA must be configured to utilize 802.1x Port-Based Authentication.
- An authentication method list must be established for "dot1x". This represents a common AAA configuration where 802.1X is enabled.
C9300#show running-config | section aaa
aaa new-model <-- This enables AAA.
aaa group server radius ISEGROUP <-- This block establishes a RADIUS server group named "ISEGROUP".
server name DOT1x
ip radius source-interface Vlan1
aaa authentication dot1x default group ISEGROUP <-- This line establishes the method list for 802.1X authentication. Group ISEGROUP is be used.
aaa authorization network default group ISEGROUP
aaa accounting update newinfo periodic 2880
aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group ISEGROUP
C9300#show running-config | section radius
aaa group server radius ISEGROUP
server name DOT1x
ip radius source-interface Vlan1 <-- Notice 'ip radius source-interface' configuration exists in both global configuration and the aaa server group block. These need to agree if configured in both places.
ip radius source-interface Vlan1
radius server DOT1x
address ipv4 10.122.141.228 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 <-- 1812 and 1813 are default auth-port and acct-port, respectively.
key secretKey
This is an example interface configuration where 802.1x is enabled. MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) is a common backup method for authenticating clients that do not support dot1x supplicants.

Reachability to Authentication Server
Reachability to the Authentication Server is a prerequisite for 802.1x authentication success.
Use "ping <server_ip>" for a quick test of reachability. Ensure your ping is sourced from the RADIUS source interface.
C9300#ping 10.122.141.228 source vlan 1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.122.141.228, timeout is 2 seconds:

Troubleshoot
This section provides guidance on how to troubleshoot most 802.1x problems on a Catalyst switch.
Methodology
Approach problems that involve 802.1x and authentication methodically for best results. Some good questions to answer are:
- Is the problem isolated to a single switch? A single port? A single client type?
- Has the configuration been validated? Is the authentication server reachable?
- Does the problem occur every time, or is it intermittent? Does it only occur with reauthentication or change of authorization?
Scrutinize a single failed transaction end-to-end if problems persist after the obvious has been ruled out. The best, most complete data set for investigation of an 802.1x transaction from client to server includes:
1a. Capture on Client and/or
1b. On the access interface where the Client connects
This point of reference is crucial to give us insight into the EAPoL packets exchanged between the access port where dot1x is enabled and the client. SPAN is the most dependable tool for viewing traffic between client and authenticator.
2. Debugs on authenticator
Debugs allow us to trace the transaction across the authenticator.
- The authenticator must punt the EAPoL packets received, and generate unicast RADIUS-encasulated traffic destined for the authentication server.
- Ensure appropriate debug levels are set for maximum effectiveness.
3. Capture adjacent to authenticator
This capture allows us to see the conversation between Authenticator and Authentication server.
- This capture accurately displays the entirety of the conversation from the perspective of the Authenticator.
- When paired with the capture in point 4, you can determine if there is loss between Authentication Server and Authenticator.
4. Capture adjacent to authentication server
This capture is a companion to the capture in point 3.
- This capture provides the entirety of the conversation from the perspective of the Authentication Server.
- When paired with the capture in point 3, you can determine if there is loss between Authenticator and Authentication Server.
5. Capture, debugs, logs on authentication server
The final piece of the puzzle, server debugs tell us what the server knows about our transaction.
- With this end-to-end set of data, a network engineer can determine where the transaction breaks and rule out components that do not contribute to the problem.
Example Symptoms
This section provides a list of common symptoms and problem scenarios.
If the EAPoL traffic generated by the switch does not elicit a response, this syslog is seen:
Aug 23 11:23:46.387 EST: %DOT1X-5-FAIL: Switch 1 R0/0: sessmgrd: Authentication failed for client (aaaa.bbbb.cccc) with reason (No Response from Client) on Interface Gi6/0/32 AuditSessionID CBFF000A000001056EFE9E73
The reason code "No Response from Client" indicates the switch has started the dot1x process, but no response has been received from the client within the timeout period.
This means either the client did not receive or understand the authentication traffic sent by the switch port, or the response from the client was not received on the switch port.
If an authentication session is started but does not complete, the Authentication Server (ISE for instance) reports that the client has started a session, but abandoned the session before completion.
Often, this means that the authentication process is only able to partially complete.
Ensure the entire transaction between the authenticator switch and authentication server is delivered end-to-end, and is correctly interpreted by the authentication server.
If RADIUS traffic is lost on the network, or delivered in a manner where the it cannot be properly assembled, the transaction is incomplete and the client retries authentication. The server in turn reports that the client has abandoned its session.
- MAB Client Fails DHCP/Falls Back to APIPA
MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) allows authentication based on MAC address. Often clients that do not support supplicant software authenticate via MAB.
If MAB is used as a fallback method for authentication while dot1x is the preferred and initial method that runs on a switch port, a scenario potentially results where the client is unable to complete DHCP.
The problem boils down to order of operations. While dot1x runs, the switch port consumes packets other than EAPoL until either authentication completes or dot1x times out. The client, however, immediately attempts to get an IP address and broadcasts its DHCP discover messages. These discover messages are consumed by the switch port until dot1x exceeds its configured timeout values and MAB is able to run. If the client DHCP timeout period is less than the dot1x timeout period, DHCP fails and the client falls back to APIPA or whatever its fall back strategy dictates.
This problem is prevented in multiple ways. Favor MAB on interfaces where MAB authenticated clients connect. If dot1x must run first, be mindful of client DHCP behavior and adjust timeout values appropriately.
Be careful to consider client behavior when dot1x and MAB is used. A valid configuration potentially leads to a technical problem, as described above.
Platform Specific Ultilities
This section outlines many of the platform-specific utilities available on the Catalyst 9000-family of switches useful to troubleshoot problems of dot1x.
- Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN)
SPAN allows the user to mirror traffic from one or more ports to a destination port for capture and analysis. Local SPAN is the most 'trustworthy' capture utility.
See this configuration guide for details on configuration and implementation:
Configuring SPAN and RSPAN, Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.x (Catalyst 9300)
- Embedded Packet Capture (EPC)
EPC leverages CPU and memory resources to provide on-board local packet capture capability.
There are limitations to EPC that impact its effectiveness for investigating certain problems. EPC is rate-limited at 1000 packets per second. EPC also cannot reliably capture CPU-injected packets on egress of physical interfaces. This is significant when the focus is on the RADIUS transaction between the authenticator switch and the authentication server. Often, the traffic rate on interface that faces the server greatly exceeds 1000 packets per second. Also, an EPC on egress of interface that faces the server is unable to capture traffic generated by the authenticator switch.
Use bidirectional access lists to filter the EPC to avoid impact by the 1000 packet per second limitation. If interested in the RADIUS traffic between authenticator and server, focus on traffic between the authenticator RADIUS source interface address and the address of the server.
If the next upstream device towards the authentication server is a Catalyst switch, use a filtered EPC on the downlink towards the authenticator switch for best results.
See this configuration guide for details on configuration and implementation:
Configuring Packet Capture, Cisco IOS Bengaluru 17.6.x (Catalyst 9300)
Software architecture changes that start with Cisco IOS XE version 16.3.2 moved AAA components to a separate Linux daemon. Familiar debugs no longer enable viewable debugs in the logging buffer. Instead,
Tip: Traditional IOS AAA debugs no longer provide output in system logs for front-panel port authentication within the syslog buffer
These classic Cisco IOS debugs for dot1x and RADIUS no longer enable viewable debugs within the switch logging buffer of the switch:
debug radius
debug access-session all
debug dot1x all
AAA component debugs are now accessible via system trace under the SMD (Session Manager Daemon).
- Like traditional syslogs, Catalyst system traces report at a default level and must be instructed to collect more in-depth logs.
- Change the routine trace level for the desired subcomponent with the command "set platform software trace smd switch active r0 <component> debug".
Switch#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 auth-mgr debug <<<--- This sets the "auth-mgr" subcomponent to "debug" log level.
This table maps traditional IOS debugs to their trace equivalent.
Old style command |
New style command |
#debug radius |
#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 radius debug |
#debug dot1x all |
#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 dot1x-all debug |
#debug access-session all |
#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 auth-mgr-all debug |
#debug epm all |
#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 epm-all debug |
Classic debugs enable all of the related component traces to 'debug' level. Platform commands are also used to enable specific traces as required.
Use the command "show platform software trace level smd switch active R0" to show the current trace level for SMD subcomponents.
Switch#show platform software trace level smd switch active R0
Module Name Trace Level
-----------------------------------------------
aaa Notice <--- Default level is "Notice"
aaa-acct Notice
aaa-admin Notice
aaa-api Notice
aaa-api-attr Notice
<snip>
auth-mgr Debug <--- Subcomponent "auth-mgr" traces at "debug" level
auth-mgr-all Notice
<snip>
Sub-component trace level can be restored to default in two ways.
- Use either "undebug all" or "set platform software trace smd switch active R0 <sub-component> notice" to restore.
- If the device reloads, the trace levels restore to default as well.
Switch#undebug all
All possible debugging has been turned off
or
Switch#set platform software trace smd switch active R0 auth-mgr notice <--- Sets sub-component "auth-mgr" to trace level "Notice", the system default.
Component trace logs can be viewed on console or written to archive and viewed offline. Traces are archived in zipped binary archives that require decoding. Contact TAC for debug assistance when dealing with archived traces. This workflow explains how to view the traces in CLI.
Use the command "show platform software trace message smd switch active R0" to view the trace logs stored in memory for the SMD component.

Trace Examples
This section includes session manager traces for dot1x and radius components for a full, failed transaction (server rejects client credentials). It is intended to provide a basic guideline to navigate system traces related to front-panel authentication.
- A test client attempts to connect to GigabitEthernet1/0/2, and is rejected.
In this example, SMD component traces are set to "debug".

Periodic Re-Authentication
You can enable periodic 802.1x client re-authentication and specify how often it occurs:
- authentication periodic - enables periodic re-authentication of the client
-
inactivity— Interval in seconds after which if there is no activity from the client then it is unauthorized
-
reauthenticate— Time in seconds after which an automatic re-authentication attempt is initiated
-
restartvalue— Interval in seconds after which an attempt is made to authenticate an unauthorized port
-
unauthorizedvalue— Interval in seconds after which an unauthorized session gets deleted
authentication periodic
authentication timer {{[inactivity | reauthenticate | restart | unauthorized]} {value}}
Violation Modes
You can configure an 802.1x port so that it shuts down, generates a syslog error, or discards packets from a new device when a device connects to an 802.1x-enabled port or the maximum number of allowed about devices have been authenticated on the port.
-
shutdown– Error disable the port.
-
restrict– Generate a syslog error.
-
protect– Drop packets from any new device that sends traffic to the port.
-
replace– Removes the current session and authenticates with the new host.
authentication violation {shutdown | restrict | protect | replace}
Changing the Quiet Period
The authentication timer restart interface configuration command controls the idle period, which dictates the set period of time where the switch remains idle after a switch cannot authenticate the client. The range for the value is 1 to 65535 seconds.
authentication timer restart {seconds}
Changing the Switch-to-Client Retransmission Time
The client responds to the EAP-request/identity frame from the switch with an EAP-response/identity frame. If the switch does not receive this response, it waits a set period of time (known as the retransmission time) and then resends the frame.
authentication timer reauthenticate {seconds}
Setting the Switch-to-Client Frame-Retransmission Number
You can change the number of times that the switch sends an EAP-request/identity frame (assuming no response is received) to the client before restarting the authentication process. The range is 1 to 10.
dot1x max-reauth-req {count}
Configuring the Host Mode
You can allow multiple hosts (clients) on a 802.1x authorized port.
authentication host-mode [multi-auth | multi-domain | multi-host | single-host]
Enabling MAC Move
MAC move allows an authenticated host to move from one port on the device to another.
authentication mac-move permit
Enabling MAC Replace
MAC replace allows a host to replace an authenticated host on a port.
-
protect - the port drops packets with unexpected MAC addresses without generating a system message.
-
restrict - violating packets are dropped by the CPU and a system message is generated.
-
shutdown - the port is error disabled when it receives an unexpected MAC address.
authentication violation {protect | replace | restrict | shutdown}
Setting the Re-Authentication Number
You can also change the number of times that the device restarts the authentication process before the port changes to the unauthorized state. The range is 0 to 10
dot1x max-req {count}
Configuring a Guest VLAN
When you configure a guest VLAN, clients that are not 802.1x-capable are put into the guest VLAN when the server does not receive a response to its EAP request/identity frame.
authentication event no-response action authorize vlan {vlan-id}
Configuring a Restricted VLAN
When you configure a restricted VLAN on a device, clients that are IEEE 802.1x-compliant are moved into the restricted VLAN when the authentication server does not receive a valid username and password.
authentication event fail action authorize vlan {vlan-id}
Configuring Number of Authentication Attempts on a Restricted VLAN
You can configure the maximum number of authentication attempts allowed before a user is assigned to the restricted VLAN by using the authentication event fail retryretry countinterface configuration command. The range of allowable authentication attempts is 1 to 3.
authentication event fail retry {retry count}
Configuring 802.1x Inaccessible Authentication Bypass with Critical Voice VLAN
You can configure a critical voice VLAN on a port and enable the inaccessible authentication bypass feature.
- authorize - Move any new hosts trying to authenticat to the user-specificied critical VLAN
- reinitialize - Move all authorized hosts on the port to the user-specified critical VLAN
authentication event server dead action {authorize | reinitialize} vlanvlan-id]

Configuring Flexible Authentication Ordering
authentication order [ dot1x | mab ] | {webauth}

Configuring Voice-Aware 802.1x Security
You use the voice aware 802.1x security feature on the device to disable only the VLAN on which a security violation occurs, whether it is a data or voice VLAN. A security violation found on the data VLAN results in the shutdown of only the data VLAN. This is a global configuration.
