Click Apply. The 802. 1 X properties are written to the Running Configuration file.
Defining 802.1X Port Authentication
The Port Authentication page enables configuration of 802. 1 X parameters for each
port. Since some of the configuration changes are only possible while the port is
in Force Authorized state, such as host authentication, it is recommended that you
change the port control to Force Authorized before making changes. When the
configuration is complete, return the port control to its previous state.
A port with 802. 1 x defined on it cannot become a member of a LAG.
To define 802. 1 X authentication:
Click Security > 802.1X > Port Authentication.
This page displays authentication settings for all ports.
Select a port, and click Edit.
Enter the parameters.
•
Interface—Select a port.
•
User Name—Displays the username.
•
Current Port Control—Displays the current port authorization state. If the
state is Authorized, the port is either authenticated or the Administrative
Port Control is Force Authorized. Conversely, if the state is Unauthorized,
then the port is either not authenticated or the Administrative Port Control is
Force Unauthorized.
•
Administrative Port Control—Select the Administrative Port Authorization
state. The options are:
-
Force Unauthorized—Denies the interface access by moving the
interface into the unauthorized state. The device does not provide
authentication services to the client through the interface.
-
Auto—Enables port-based authentication and authorization on the
device. The interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized
state based on the authentication exchange between the device and the
client.
-
Force Authorized—Authorizes the interface without authentication.
