The operation of 802.1X on the switch requires the following:
•
The switch must have an IP address assigned.
•
RADIUS authentication must be enabled on the switch and the IP
address of the RADIUS server specified.
•
Each switch port that will be used must be set to dot1x “Auto” mode.
•
Each client that needs to be authenticated must have dot1x client
software installed and properly configured.
•
The RADIUS server and 802.1X client support EAP. (The switch only
supports EAPOL in order to pass the EAP packets from the server to
the client.)
•
The RADIUS server and client also have to support the same EAP
authentication type. The current version of the firmware supports only
the EAP-MD5 authetication type. (Some clients have native support in
Windows, otherwise the dot1x client must support it.)
