Web and MAC Authentication

Setup Procedure for Web/MAC Authentication

Note that when configuring a RADIUS server to assign a VLAN, you can

use either the VLAN’s name or VID. For example, if a VLAN configured in

the switch has a VID of 100 and is named vlan100, you could configure the

RADIUS server to use either “100” or “vlan100” to specify the VLAN.

4. Determine whether to use the optional “Unauthorized VLAN” mode for

clients that the RADIUS server does not authenticate. This VLAN must be

statically configured on the switch. If you do not configure an “Unauthor-

ized VLAN”, the switch simply blocks access to unauthenticated clients

trying to use the port.

5. Determine the authentication policy you want on the RADIUS server and

configure the server. Refer to the documentation provided with your

RADIUS application and include the following in the policy for each client

or client device:

• The CHAP-RADIUS authentication method.

• An encryption key

• One of the following:

– If you are configuring Web-based authentication, include the user

name and password for each authorized client.

– If you are configuring MAC-based authentication, enter the

device MAC address in both the username and password fields of

the RADIUS policy configuration for that device. Also, if you want

to allow a particular device to receive authentication only

through a designated port and switch, include this in your policy.

6. Determine the IP address of the RADIUS server(s) you will use to support

Web- or MAC-based authentication. (For information on configuring the

switch to access RADIUS servers, refer to “Configuring the Switch To

Access a RADIUS Server” on page 4-15.)
