Configuring multi-device port authentication
31
In addition to dynamic VLAN assignment, BigIron RX Series also support dynamic ACL assignment
as is the case with 802.1x port security.
Support for authenticating multiple MAC addresses on an interface
The multi-device port authentication feature allows multiple MAC addresses to be authenticated or
denied authentication on each interface. The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be
authenticated on each interface is 256. The default is 32.
Support for multi-device port authentication and 802.1x on the same
interface
On the device, multi-device port authentication and 802.1x security can be enabled on the same
port. However, only one of them can authenticate a MAC address/802.1x client. If an 802.1x client
responds, the software assumes that the MAC should be authenticated using 802.1x protocol
mechanisms and multi-device port authentication for that MAC is aborted. Also, at any given time, a
port can have either 802.1x clients or multi-device port authentication clients but not both.
Configuring multi-device port authentication
Configuring multi-device port authentication on the device consists of the following tasks:
•
Enabling multi-device port authentication globally and on individual interfaces
•
Configuring an Authentication Method List for 802.1x
•
Setting RADIUS Parameters
•
Specifying the format of the MAC addresses sent to the RADIUS server (optional)
•
Specifying the authentication-failure action (optional)
•
Defining MAC address filters (optional)
•
Configuring dynamic VLAN assignment (optional)
•
Specifying to which VLAN a port is moved after its RADIUS-specified VLAN assignment expires
(optional)
•
Saving dynamic VLAN assignments to the running configuration file (optional)
•
Clearing authenticated MAC addresses (optional)
•
Disabling aging for authenticated MAC addresses (optional)
•
Specifying the aging time for blocked MAC addresses (optional)
