DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
802.1x authentication configuration tasks
The tasks in this section describe the common 802.1x operations that you will need to perform. For
a complete description of all the available 802.1x CLI commands for the Brocade FCoE hardware,
see the
Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference
.
Configure authentication
between the switch and CNA or NIC
For complete information on the aaaConfig command, see the
Fabric OS Command Reference
and
the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
.
NOTE
The aaaConfig command attempts to connect to the first RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server is not
reachable, the next RADIUS server is contacted. However, if the RADIUS server is contacted and the
authentication fails, the authentication process does not check for the next server in the sequence.
To configure authentication, perform the following steps.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Add the RADIUS to the switch as the authentication server. This Fabric OS CLI command moves
the new RADIUS server to the top of the access list.
switch:admin>
aaaconfig --add 10.2.2.147 -conf radius 1
3. Enter global configuration mode.
switch:admin>

4. Enable 802.1x authentication globally
switch(config)#
dot1x enable
5. Enter the copy command to save the
running-config
file to the
startup-config
file.
switch(config)#
do copy running-config startup-config
Interface-specific administrative tasks for 802.1x
It is essential to configure the 802.1x port authentication protocol globally on the Brocade FCoE
hardware, and then enable 802.1x and make customized changes for each interface port. Since
802.1x was enabled and configured in
“802.1x authentication configuration tasks”
, use the
administrative tasks in this section to make any necessary customizations to specific interface port
settings.
Configuring 802.1x on specific interface ports
To configure 802.1x port authentication on a specific interface port, perform the following steps
from privileged EXEC mode. Repeat this task for each interface port you wish to modify.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
