AVLAN Configuration Overview

AVLAN Configuration Overview
Configuring authenticated VLANs requires several major steps. The steps are outlined here and described
throughout this chapter. See
implementing the commands used in these procedures.
1 Set up authentication clients. See
2 Configure at least one authenticated VLAN. A router port must be set up in at least one authenti-
cated VLAN for the DHCP relay. See
3 Configure at least one authenticated mobile port. Required for connecting the clients to the switch.
See "Configuring Authenticated Ports" on page
4 Set up the DHCP server. Required if you are using Telnet or Web browser clients. Required for any
clients that need to get IP addresses after authentication. See
page 21-29.
5
Configure the authentication server authority mode. See
