Configuring 802.1X Switch Supplicant With Neat - Cisco ME 3400 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication
You must configure the RADIUS server to perform accounting tasks, such as logging start, stop, and
Note
interim-update messages and time stamps. To turn on these functions, enable logging of
"Update/Watchdog packets from this AAA client" in your RADIUS server Network Configuration tab.
Next, enable "CVS RADIUS Accounting" in your RADIUS server System Configuration tab.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure IEEE 802.1x accounting after AAA
is enabled on your switch. This procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface-id
Step 3 aaa accounting dot1x default
start-stop group radius
Step 4 aaa accounting system default
start-stop group radius
Step 5 end
Step 6 show running-config
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Use the show radius statistics privileged EXEC command to display the number of RADIUS messages
that do not receive the accounting response message.
This example shows how to configure IEEE 802.1x accounting. The first command configures the
RADIUS server, specifying 1813 as the UDP port for accounting:
Switch(config)# radius-server host 172.120.39.46 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key rad123
Switch(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
Switch(config)# aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius

Configuring 802.1x Switch Supplicant with NEAT

Configuring this feature requires that one switch (outside a wiring closet) is configured as supplicant and
is connected to an authenticator switch.
You cannot enable MDA or multiauth mode on the authenticator switch interface that connects to one
Note
more supplicant switches.

(NEAT)" section on page
The cisco-av-pairs must be configured as device-traffic-class=switch on the ACS, which sets the
Note
interface as a trunk after the supplicant is successfuly authenticated.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
Enable IEEE 802.1x accounting using the list of all RADIUS servers.
(Optional) Enables system accounting (using the list of all RADIUS
servers) and generates system accounting reload event messages when the
switch reloads.
Return to privileged EXEc mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
