Requirements
Overview and Topology
Authenticate multiple supplicants on an authenticator port. Multiple supplicant mode
is used in VoIP configurations.
This example configures a J-EX4200 switch to use IEEE 802.1X to authenticate supplicants
that use three different administrative modes:
Requirements on page 2291
Overview and Topology on page 2291
Configuration of 802.1X to Support Multiple Supplicant Modes on page 2293
Verification on page 2294
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
One J-EX Series switch acting as an authenticator port access entity (PAE). The ports
on the authenticator PAE form a control gate that blocks all traffic to and from
supplicants until they are authenticated.
One RADIUS authentication server that supports 802.1X. The authentication server
acts as the backend database and contains credential information for hosts
(supplicants) that have permission to connect to the network.
Before you configure the ports for 802.1X authentication, be sure you have:
Installed your J-EX Series switch.
Performed the initial switch configuration. See "Connecting and Configuring a J-EX
Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)" on page 163.
Performed basic bridging and VLAN configuration on the switch. See "Example: Setting
Up Basic Bridging and a VLAN for a J-EX Series Switch" on page 1063.
Configured users on the authentication server.
As shown in Figure 54 on page 2292, the topology contains a J-EX4200 access switch
connected to the authentication server on port
and ge-0/0/11 will be configured for three different administrative modes.
