Configuring Authentication
10-20 Configuring User Authentication
Displaying MultiAuth Configuration Information
MultiAuth authentication supports the display of system-wide MultiAuth authentication values,
MultiAuth authentication counters, port settings, end-user MAC addresses, session information,
idle timeout settings, session timeout settings, and trap settings.
Table 10-3 describes displaying of MultiAuth authentication settings and statistics.
Configuring VLAN Authorization
VLAN authorization allows for the dynamic assignment of users to the same VLAN. You
configure VLAN authorization attributes within RADIUS. On the switch you enable VLAN
authorization both globally and per-port. VLAN authorization is disabled globally by default.
VLAN authorization is enabled per port by default. You can also set the VLAN egress format
per-port. VLAN egress format defaults to untagged. VLAN egress format can be set as follows:
• none – No egress manipulation will be made.
• tagged – The authenticating port will be added to the current tagged egress for the VLAN-ID
returned.
• untagged – The authenticating port will be added to the current untagged egress for the
VLAN-ID returned.
