Figure 1. 802.1X authentication roles
802.1X example configuration
This example shows how to configure the switch so that 802.1X-based authentication
is required on the ports in a corporate conference room (5 through 8). These ports are
available to visitors and must be authenticated before access is granted to the network.
The authentication is handled by an external RADIUS server. When the visitor is
successfully authenticated, traffic is automatically assigned to the guest VLAN. This
example assumes that a VLAN was configured with a VLAN ID of 150 and VLAN name
of Guest.
1. On the Port Authentication page, select ports 5, 6, 7, and 8.
2. From the Port Control menu, select Unauthorized.
The selection from the Port Control menu for all other ports on which authentication
is not needed must be Authorized. When the selection from the Port Control menu
is Authorized, the port is unconditionally put in a force-authorized state and does
not require any authentication. When the selection from the Port Control menu is
Auto, the authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode.
3. In the Guest VLAN field for ports 5 through 8, enter 150 to assign these ports to
the guest VLAN.
