AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Main User Manual 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. You can configure additional settings to control access to the network through the ports. See Configure a port security interface on page 568 for information about the settings. 4. Click the Apply button. 5. On the 802.1X Configuration page, set the Port Based Authentication State and Guest VLAN mode to Enable, and then the Apply button (See Configure the global port security mode on page 567). This example uses the default values for the port authentication settings, but you can configure several additional settings. For example, the EAPOL Flood Mode field allows you to enable the forwarding of EAPoL frames when 802.1X is disabled on the device. 6. On the RADIUS Server Configuration page, configure a RADIUS server with the following settings: • Server Address: 192.168.10.23 • Secret Configured: Yes • Secret: secret123 • Active: Primary For more information, see RADIUS servers on page 500. 7. Click the Add button. 8. On the Authentication List page, configure the default List to use RADIUS as the first authentication method (See Configure a login authentication list on page 514). This example enables 802.1X-based port security on the switch and prompts the hosts connected on ports 5 through 8 for an 802.1X-based authentication. The switch passes the authentication information to the configured RADIUS server. Configuration Examples 778 Main User Manual
