X Readiness Check - Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 1 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
AV pairs are automatically sent by a switch that is configured for 802.1x accounting. Three types of
RADIUS accounting packets are sent by a switch:

1. The Framed-IP-Address AV pair is sent only if a valid Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) binding
You can view the AV pairs that are being sent by the switch by entering the debug radius accounting
privileged EXEC command. For more information about this command, see the Cisco IOS Debug
Command Reference, Release 12.4.
For more information about AV pairs, see RFC 3580, "IEEE 802.1x Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service (RADIUS) Usage Guidelines."

802.1x Readiness Check

The 802.1x readiness check monitors 802.1x activity on all the switch ports and displays information
about the devices connected to the ports that support 802.1x. You can use this feature to determine if the
devices connected to the switch ports are 802.1x-capable. You use an alternate authentication such as
MAC authentication bypass or web authentication for the devices that do not support 802.1x
functionality.
