Triple Authentication Configuration Example
Network Requirement
As shown in Figure 1-2, the terminals are connected to a switch to access the IP network. It is required
to configure triple authentication on the Ethernet port of the switch which connects to the terminals, so
that a terminal passing one of the three authentication methods, 802.1X authentication, Web
authentication and MAC authentication, can access the IP network. More specifically,
z The terminals request IP addresses through DHCP. They use IP addresses in 192.168.1.0/24
before authentication and in 3.3.3.0/24 after passing authentication.
z Use the remote RADIUS server to perform authentication, authorization and accounting and
configure the switch to send usernames carrying no ISP domain names to the RADIUS server.
z The IP address of the local Web authentication server on the switch is 100.1.1.1.
z Users passing authentication are added to VLAN 3, the authorized VLAN.
z Users failing authentication are added to VLAN 2, the Auth-Fail VLAN, and are allowed to access
only the Update server.
