Configuring 802.1x Configuration Example

Configuration Example
3.1 Network Requirements
The network administrator wants to control access from the end users (clients) in the
company. It is required that all clients need to be authenticated separately and only the
authenticated clients can access the internet.
3.2 Configuration Scheme
■ To authenticate clients separately, enable 802.1x authentication, configure the control
mode as auto, and set the control type as MAC based.
■ Enable 802.1x authentication on the ports connected to clients.
■ Keep 802.1x authentication disabled on ports connected to the authentication server
and the internet, which ensures unrestricted connections between the switch and the
authentication server or the internet.
3.3 Network Topology
As shown in the following figure, Switch A acts as the authenticator. Port 1/0/1 is
connected to the client, port 1/0/2 is connected to the RADIUS server, and port 1/0/3 is
connected to the internet.
