802.1X CONFIGURATION STEPS
This section lists step by step instructions to be followed while configuring the
802.1X.
Step 1: To enable 802.1X port-based authentication, you should enable AAA
services and specify the authentication method list. A method list describes the
sequence and authentication methods to be queried to the authentication server
to authenticate a user.
ALU(config)# aaa services
ALU(config)# aaa server-group radius <name>
ALU(config-rad-grp)# radius-server <ip-address> key
<string>
ALU(config-rad-grp)# exit
ALU(config)# aaa method-list <name> <methods>...
ALU(config)# aaa authentication dot1x <method-list-
name>
Example:
ALU(config)# aaa services
ALU(config)# aaa server-group radius rad1
ALU(config-rad1-grp)# radius-server 10.0.0.254 key
admin
ALU(config-rad1-grp)# exit
ALU(config)# aaa method-list m1 rad1
ALU(config)# aaa authentication dot1x m1
The above CLI commands are the minimum and mandatory steps to enable
802.1X port-based authentication.
(For more details on AAA configuration commands, refer to the “System
Configuration and Monitoring” chapter in this guide).
Step 2: Enter Configuration Mode.
ALU# configure terminal
ALU(config)#
