Figure 3. 802.1X authentication roles
802.1X example configuration
This example shows how to configure the switch so that 802.1X-based authentication is
required on the ports in a corporate conference room (1/0/5–1/0/8). These ports are available
to visitors and must be authenticated before access is granted to the network. The
authentication is handled by an external RADIUS server. When the visitor is successfully
authenticated, traffic is automatically assigned to the guest VLAN. This example assumes
that a VLAN was configured with a VLAN ID of 150 and VLAN name of Guest.
1.
On the Port Authentication page, select ports
1/0/5
,
1/0/6
,
1/0/7
, and
1/0/8
.
2.
From the
Port Control
menu, select
Unauthorized
.
The selection from the
Port Control
menu for all other ports on which authentication is
not needed must be
Authorized
. When the selection from the
Port Control
menu is
Authorized
, the port is unconditionally put in a force-authorized state and does not
require any authentication. When the selection from the
Port Control
menu is
Auto
, the
authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode.
3.
In the
Guest VLAN
field for ports 1/0/5–1/0/8, enter
150
to assign these ports to the guest
VLAN.
You can configure additional settings to control access to the network through the ports.
See
Configure a port security interface on page
for information about the settings.
4.
Click the
Apply
button.
5.
On the 802.1X Configuration page, set the port based authentication state and guest VLAN
mode to
Enable
, and then the
Apply
Configure the global port security
.)
This example uses the default values for the port authentication settings, but you can
configure several additional settings. For example, the
EAPOL Flood Mode
field allows
you to enable the forwarding of EAPoL frames when 802.1X is disabled on the device.
