How 802.1X port security works
34
FIGURE 155
Controlled and uncontrolled ports before and after client authentication
Before a Client is authenticated, only the uncontrolled port on the Authenticator is open. The
uncontrolled port allows only EAPOL frames to be exchanged between the Client and the
Authentication Server. The controlled port is in the unauthorized state and allows no traffic to pass
through.
During authentication, EAPOL messages are exchanged between the Supplicant PAE and the
Authenticator PAE, and RADIUS messages are exchanged between the Authenticator PAE and the
Authentication Server.Refer to
“Message exchange during authentication”
on page 1220 for an
example of this process. If the Client is successfully authenticated, the controlled port becomes
authorized, and traffic from the Client can flow through the port normally.
By default, all controlled ports on the PowerConnect device are placed in the authorized state,
allowing all traffic. When authentication is activated on an 802.1X-enabled interface, the interface
controlled port is placed initially in the unauthorized state. When a Client connected to the port is
successfully authenticated, the controlled port is then placed in the authorized state until the
Client logs off.Refer to
“Enabling 802.1X port security”
on page 1237 for more information.
Message exchange during authentication
Figure 156
illustrates a sample exchange of messages between an 802.1X-enabled Client, a
PowerConnect switch acting as Authenticator, and a RADIUS server acting as an Authentication
Server.
