Configuring Security Configuring 802.1X 17 • Authentication Method-Select the user authentication methods. The options are: - RADIUS, None-Perform port authentication first by using the RADIUS server. If no response is received from RADIUS (for example, if the server is down), then no authentication is performed, and the session is permitted. - RADIUS-Authenticate the user on the RADIUS server. If no authentication is performed, the session is not permitted. - None-Do not authenticate the user. Permit the session. STEP 3 Click Apply. The 802.1X properties are written to the Running Configuration file. Defining 802.1X Port Authentication The Port Authentication page enables configuration of 802.1X parameters for each port. Since some of the configuration changes are only possible while the port is in Force Authorized state, such as host authentication, it is recommended that you change the port control to Force Authorized before making changes. When the configuration is complete, return the port control to its previous state. NOTE A port with 802.1x defined on it cannot become a member of a LAG. To define 802.1X authentication: STEP 1 Click Security > 802.1X > Port Authentication. The Port Authentication page is displayed. This page displays authentication settings for all ports. STEP 2 Select a port, and click Edit. The Edit Port Authentication page is displayed. STEP 3 Enter the parameters. • Interface-Select a port. • User Name-Displays the username of the port. • Current Port Control-Displays the current port authorization state. If the state is Authorized, the port is either authenticated or the Administrative Port Control is Force Authorized. Conversely, if the state is Unauthorized, then the port is either not authenticated or the Administrative Port Control is Force Unauthorized.
