Configuring Supplicant Parameters

After you have enabled port-based access control and configured a port
as a supplicant, use this procedure in this section to configure the
supplicant parameters. The procedure in Setting the Port Access Role on
page 559 describes how to config
ure a port as a supplicant. For
information about the role of a supplicant, see the 802.1x Port-based
Access Network Control Overview on page 550.

To display supplicant ports and parameters, see Displaying Supplicant
Ports on page 574.

To configure the supplicant parameters on a port, you need to create a
user name and password for the port. The user name and password for a
port can be any value as long as the information is present on a RADIUS
server.

Before you configure the user name and password for a supplicant,
decide if you want to use the same user name and password for all
supplicants or individual user names and passwords for each supplicant.

To configure supplicant parameters on a port, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 6 to select Security Menu.

The Security Menu is shown in Figure 151 on page 473.

2. From the Security Menu, select Port Access Control.

The Port Access Control Menu is shown in Figure 180 on page 557.

3. From the Port Access Control Menu, type 5 to select Configure

Supplicant.
