Configuring Port Access
The 802.1x Port-based Access Control feature uses the RADIUS
authentication protocol. Before you configure port-based access on the
switch, you must first configure RADIUS with EAP. See Chapter 45:
TACACS+ and RADIUS Protocols.
To configure the port-based access feature, there are several tasks you
need to accomplish. First, you enable port-based access on the switch.
Then you have the option of enabling RADIUS accounting as well. In
addition, you must configure ports with the role of authenticator and
supplicant. Once you’ve decided on the port roles, there are parameters
specific to authenticator and supplicant ports that you may want to
configure. See the following procedures for more information:
❑ Enabling Port-Based Access Control on page 807
❑ Configuring RADIUS Accounting on page 809
❑ Setting the Port Role on page 810
❑ Configuring an Authenticator Port on page 811
❑ Configuring a Supplicant Port on page 814
To display the current port access configuration, see Displaying 802.1x
Port-Based Access Control Information on page 816.
