This example configures a single RADIUS server used for authentication and accounting at 10.10.10.10. The shared secret
is configured to be
secret. The process creates a new authentication list, called radiusList, which uses RADIUS as the
authentication method. This authentication list is associated with the 802.1X default login. IEEE 802.1X port-based access
control is enabled for the system, and interface 0/1 is configured to be in force-authorized mode because this is where the
RADIUS server and protected network resources are located.
Figure 377: Switch
with 802.1X Network Access Control
If a user, or supplicant, attempts to communicate via the switch on any interface except interface 0/1, the system challenges
the supplicant for login credentials. The system encrypts the provided information and transmits it to the RADIUS server. If
the RADIUS server grants access, the system sets the 802.1X port state of the interface to authorized, and the supplicant
is able to access network resources.
