●
Connect the Supplicant - i.e., Windows XP clients - directly to the C360.
●
Verify that the dot1x port-control is in auto mode.
●
Set the dot1x system-auth-config to enable; the authentication process starts:
- The supplicant is asked to supply a user name and password.
- If authentication is enabled on the port, the Authenticator initiates authentication when
the link is up.
- Authentication Succeeds: after the authentication process completes, the supplicant will
receive a Permit/Deny notification.
- Authentication Fails: authentication will fail when the Supplicant fails to respond to
requests from the Authenticator, when management controls prevent the port from being
authorized, when the link is down, or when the user supplied incorrect logon information.
