Enabling IEEE 802.1x authentication
In this example, the Radius Server keeps the Client information, validating the identity of the
Client and updating the switch about the authentication status of the client. The Switch is the
physical access between the two Clients and the Server. It requests information from the client,
relays information to the Server and then back to the Client.
To configure 802.1x authentication, first enable authentication on ports eth-0-1 and then specify
the Radius Server IP address and port.
DUT# configure terminal
Enter the Configure mode.
DUT(config)# dot1x system-auth-ctrl
Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication globally on the switch.
DUT(config)#radius-server host
