Wired 802.1X support
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). PNAC provides the ability to grant or deny net-
work access to devices wishing to attach to a LAN based on credentials tied to the device rather than to a user. Until the device
has been verified and permitted access, no network traffic is passed through the connected port, effectively keeping the device
disconnected from the network.
The NX-Series controller acts as a supplicant (client device) to a wired 802.1X enabled network and presents customer-provided
X.509 certificates to be allowed access to protected networks. The following EAP Encryption Methods are supported.
PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2
TTLS/MSCHAPv2
TTLS/PAP
MD5
Customer provided X.509 certificates are uploaded to the NX-Series controller using NetLinx Studio, and 802.1x is configured via
the Command Line Interface and the syntax:
DOT1X[status|enable|disable]
Once you add the certificate file to your workspace, NetLinx Studio transfers the file to the appropriate directory on the controller.
1. Click to select (highlight) a System (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar).
2. Right-click on the
Other
folder to access the Other File Folder context menu, and select
Add Existing Other File
.
3. In the Add Existing Other File dialog, locate and select the certificate file (.crt) that you want to add to the selected
System. Change the Files of Type option to All Files (*.*) to look for other file types, if necessary.
4. Click
Open
to access the File Properties dialog, where you can view/edit general file information for the selected file.
5. Click
OK
to add the file to the selected System. The file should now appear in the Other folder under the selected System.
