Hi,

I spoke to one of the network expert and he mentioned that you might be missing some configuration.

On global client authentication (3):

after

Console(config)#dot1x system-auth-control
Console(config)#radius server source-ip X.X.X.X
Console(config)#radius server auth X.X.X.X

On interface Te1/0/4 (4)

interface Te1/0/4
dot1x reauthentication
dot1x timeout guest-vlan-period 10
dot1x max-req 10
dot1x guest-vlan X
dot1x unauth-vlan X
authentication order dot1x
authentication priority dot1x
exit

If this doesn't work, you may need to run a show tech to have us check the full logs.
