The switch has a list of authentication methods to try for each type of login. 
For example my config for 802.1x says:

aaa authentication dot1x default group radius

You'll also need:
dot1x mac-auth-bypass
configured on the interface itself. There's some info here
http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/snac-8021x-mac-authentication-bypass-mab-cisco-switch-and-ias

It's about IAS unfortunately, but it explains the cisco bits. Plenty more on 
the Cisco site as well.

Good luck,

Leighton
