IES-5000 Support Notes

Setting up 802.1x

To set up an 802.1x infrastructure, we need to configure the authenticator, RADIUS

and supplicants. In this example, we will use Microsoft 802.1x client as the supplicant

and ZyXEL Vantage 50 as the RADIUS server. The following sections describe the

procedures.

1. Authenticator Setup: IES-5000

1.1 RADIUS settings:

Enable 802.1x Authentication and specify the RADIUS server IP address, UDP port

and shared Secret on the IES-5000. Make sure you enter the same UDP port and

shared secret as the RADIUS server. Then save the settings to make them take effect.

TGE1> sys sw dot1x enable

TGE1> sys sw dot1x set radius server 192.168.1.3

TGE1> sys sw dot1x set radius port 1812

TGE1> sys sw dot1x set radius sec 12345678

TGE1> config save

2. RADIUS Setup: Vantage 50

You can use any RADIUS server (such as Funk Steel-Belted RADIUS, Cisco Access

Control Server or MeetingHouse Aegis server). In this example, we will use ZyXEL

Vantage 50 as the RADIUS server. You can configure Vantage 50 through its web

configurator (the default management IP address is 192.168.1.3).

2.1 RADIUS server setup

Click RADIUS and RADIUS SERVER in the navigation panel to display the configuration

screen as shown. You can use the default values or change the Authentication port, Shared

Secret settings. Make sure these values MUST are the same as on the client.
