802.1X Example Configuration

This example shows how to configure the switch so that 802.1X-based authentication is
required on the ports in a corporate conference room (mg7–mg8). These ports are available
to visitors and must be authenticated before access is granted to the network. The
authentication is handled by an external RADIUS server. When the visitor is successfully
authenticated, traffic is automatically assigned to the guest VLAN. This example assumes
that a VLAN was configured with a VLAN ID of 150 and VLAN name of Guest.
1. On the Port Authentication page, select ports mg6 through mg8.
2. From the Port Control menu, select Auto.
The selection from the Port Control menu for all other ports on which authentication is
not needed must be Authorized. When the selection from the Port Control menu is
Authorized, the port is unconditionally put in a force-authorized state and does not
require any authentication. When the selection from the Port Control menu is Auto, the
authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode.
3. In the Guest VLAN field for ports mg7–mg8, enter 150 to assign these ports to the guest
VLAN.
You can configure additional settings to control access to the network through the ports.

4. Click the Apply button.
5. On the 802.1X Configuration page, set the port-based authentication state and guest VLAN
mode to Enable, and then click the Apply button. (See
page 241.)
