802.1x port security and sFlow
33
•
When a Client has been denied access to the network, its dot1x-mac-session is aged
out if no traffic is received from the Client’s MAC address over a fixed hardware aging
period (70 seconds), plus a configurable software aging period. You can optionally
change the software aging period for dot1x-mac-sessions or disable aging altogether.
After the denied Client’s dot1x-mac-session is aged out, traffic from that Client is no
longer blocked, and the Client can be re-authenticated.
802.1x port security and sFlow
sFlow is a system for observing traffic flow patterns and quantities within and among a set of the
BigIron RX
devices. sFlow works by taking periodic samples of network data and exporting this
information to a collector.
When you enable sFlow forwarding on an 802.1x-enabled interface, the samples taken from the
interface include the user name string at the inbound or outbound port, if that information is
available.
Configuring 802.1x port security
Configuring 802.1x port security on a device consists of the following tasks.
1. Configuring the
BigIron RX
device’s interaction with the Authentication Server:
•
“Configuring an authentication method list for 802.1x”
on page 961
•
“Setting RADIUS parameters”
on page 961
•
“Configuring dynamic VLAN assignment for 802.1x ports”
on page 962 (optional)
2. Configuring the
BigIron RX
’s role as the Authenticator:
•
“Enabling 802.1x port security”
on page 966
•
“Initializing 802.1x on a port”
on page 970 (optional)
3. Configuring the
BigIron RX
device’s interaction with Clients:
•
“Configuring periodic re-authentication”
on page 968 (optional)
•
“Re-authenticating a port manually”
on page 968 (optional)
•
“Setting the quiet period”
on page 969 (optional)
•
“Setting the interval for retransmission of EAP-request/identity frames”
on page 969
(optional)
•
“Specifying the number of EAP-request/identity frame retransmissions”
on page 969
(optional)
•
“Specifying a timeout for retransmission of EAP-request frames to the client”
on page 970
(optional)
•
“Allowing multiple 802.1x clients to authenticate”
on page 970 (optional)
NOTE
Multi-Device Port Authentication and 802.1x authentication can both be enabled on a port; however
only one of them can authenticate a MAC address/802.1x client.
