Re: dot1x missing?

Yes, when you're preparing for the lab, you must use exactly the same
software version to not be surprised with some issues like that.

To be honest, the code for dot1x has been changed several times in the past
few years and you cannot be sure if the same dot1x feature is there on
different platforms and if this behaves in the same way. Hopefully it is
more stable, consistent and streamlined in 12.2(55) and above.
