Configuring A Guest Vlan - Cisco Catalyst 3120 Software Manual

Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication
Note You must configure the RADIUS server to perform accounting tasks, such as logging start, stop, and
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 a Guest VLAN

When you configure a guest VLAN, clients that are not IEEE 802.1x-capable are put into the guest
VLAN when the server does not receive a response to its EAP request/identity frame. Clients that are
IEEE 802.1x-capable but that fail authentication are not granted network access. The switch supports
guest VLANs in single-host or multiple-hosts mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a guest VLAN. This procedure is
optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface-id

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.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.
