M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches The Port Control setting for all other ports where authentication is not needed should be Authorized. When the Port Control setting is Authorized, the port is unconditionally put in a force-Authorized state and does not require any authentication. When the Port Control setting is Auto, the authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode 3. In the Guest VLAN field for ports 1/0/5- 1/0/8, 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 556 for information about the settings. 4. Click the Apply button. 5. From 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 555). This example uses the default values for the port authentication settings, but there are several additional settings that you can configure. 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. From 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 Manage the RADIUS Server Settings on page 505. 7. Click the Add button. 8. From 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 g5-g8 for an 802.1X-based authentication. The switch passes the authentication information to the configured RADIUS server. MSTP Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) runs on bridged networks to help eliminate loops. If a bridge loop occurs, the network can become flooded with traffic. IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports multiple instances of Spanning Tree to efficiently channel VLAN traffic over different interfaces. Each instance of the Spanning Tree behaves in the manner specified in IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree, with slight modifications in the working but not the end effect (chief among the effects is the rapid transitioning of the port to the Forwarding state).
