Configuration Guide Configuring 802.1X
The AC supports 802.1X.
One or multiple RADIUS servers perform authentication.
Figure 4-1
STAs support 802.1X authentication. After connecting to APs, they will be authenticated through 802.1X. 802.1X
authentication is enabled on the AC. The RADIUS server runs the RADIUS server software to perform identity
verification.
Deployment
Enable 802.1X authentication on the AC based on the WLANs broadcast by APs to make associated STAs controlled.
Only authenticated STAs can access the network.
Configure an AAA authentication method list so that 802.1X can adopt the appropriate method and authentication
server.
Configure RADIUS parameters to ensure proper communication between the AC and the RADIUS server. For details,
see the Configuring RDS.
If a Ruijie RADIUS server is used, configure SNMP parameters to allow the RADIUS server to manage devices, such as
querying and setting.
Create an account on the RADIUS server, register the IP addresses of the AC, and configure RADIUS-related
parameters. Only in this case, can the RADIUS server respond to the requests of the AP/AC.
