User Authentication
3-65
an EAPOL response to the switch, which it forwards to the RADIUS server. The
RADIUS server verifies the client identity and sends an access challenge back to the
client. The EAP packet from the RADIUS server contains not only the challenge, but
the authentication method to be used. The client can reject the authentication
method and request another, depending on the configuration of the client software
and the RADIUS server. The current version of the firmware supports only the MD5
authentication method.
The client responds to the appropriate method with its credentials, such as a
password or certificate. The RADIUS server verifies the client credentials and
responds with an accept or reject packet. If authentication is successful, the switch
allows the client to access the network. Otherwise, network access is denied and the
port remains blocked.
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.)
