H3C S5120-EI Series User Manual

1-14
authentication domain for authentication, authorization, and accounting of all 802.1X users on the port.
In this way, users accessing the port cannot use any account in other domains.
Meanwhile, for EAP relay mode 802.1X authentication that uses certificates, the certificate of a user
determines the authentication domain of the user. However, you can specify different mandatory
authentication domains for different ports even if the user certificates are from the same certificate
authority (that is, the user domain names are the same). This allows you to deploy 802.1X access
policies flexibly.
Configuring 802.1X
Configuration Prerequisites
802.1X provides a user identity authentication scheme. However, 802.1X cannot implement the
authentication scheme solely by itself. RADIUS or local authentication must be configured to work with
802.1X.
z Configure the ISP domain to which the 802.1X user belongs and the AAA scheme to be used (that
is, local authentication or RADIUS).
z For remote RADIUS authentication, the username and password information must be configured
on the RADIUS server.
z For local authentication, the username and password information must be configured on the device
and the service type must be set to lan-access.
For detailed configuration of the RADIUS client, refer to AAA Configuration in the Security Volume.
