Authentication Methods for Authenticator Ports
Authenticator ports support two authentication methods:
802.1x username and password combination
This authentication mode requires that the supplicants be assigned
unique username and password combinations on the RADIUS server.
A supplicant must provide the information either manually or
automatically when initially passing traffic through an authenticator port
and during reauthentications. The 802.1x client software on the
supplicant either prompts the user for the necessary information or
provides the information automatically.
Assigning unique username and password combinations to your
network users and requiring the users to provide the information when
they initially send traffic through the switch can enhance network
security by limiting network access to only those supplicants who have
been assigned valid combinations. Another advantage is that the
authentication is not tied to any specific computer or node. An end user
can log on from any system and still be verified by the RADIUS server
as a valid user of the switch and network.
This authentication method requires 802.1x client software on the
supplicant nodes.
MAC address-based authentication
An alternative method is to use the MAC address of a node as the
username and password combination for the device. The client is not
prompted for this information. Rather, the switch extracts the source
MAC address from the initial frames received from a node and
automatically sends it as both the username and password of the node
to the RADIUS server for authentication.
The advantage to this approach is that the supplicant need not have
802.1x client software. The disadvantage is that because the client is
not prompted for a username and password combination, it does not
guard against an unauthorized individual from gaining access to the
network through an unattended network node or by counterfeiting a
valid network MAC address.
