Authenticate multiple end devices on an authenticator port. Multiple supplicant mode
is used in VoIP configurations.
This example configures an EX4200 switch to use IEEE 802.1X to authenticate end
devices that use three different administrative modes:
Requirements on page 2569
Overview and Topology on page 2569
Configuration of 802.1X to Support Multiple Supplicant Modes on page 2571
Verification on page 2572
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Junos OS Release 9.0 or later for EX Series switches
One 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 end
devices 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 end devices
(supplicants) that have permission to connect to the network.
Before you configure the ports for 802.1X authentication, be sure you have:
Installed your EX Series switch.
Performed the initial switch configuration. See "Connecting and Configuring an EX
Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)" on page 189.
Performed basic bridging and VLAN configuration on the switch. See "Example: Setting
Up Basic Bridging and a VLAN for an EX Series Switch" on page 1305.
Configured users on the authentication server.
As shown in Figure 56 on page 2570, the topology contains an EX4200 access switch
connected to the authentication server on port
and will be configured for three different administrative modes.
