Configuration Prerequisites - HP 1920 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Series User Manual

Authentication status
A user fails 802.1X
authentication.
A user in the Auth-Fail VLAN
fails 802.1X
re-authentication.
A user passes 802.1X
authentication.
• On a port that performs MAC-based access control:
Authentication status
A user fails 802.1X
authentication.
A user in the Auth-Fail VLAN
fails 802.1X
re-authentication.
A user in the Auth-Fail VLAN
passes 802.1X
authentication.
To perform the 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN function on a port that performs MAC-based access control, you
must ensure that the port is a hybrid port, and enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
The network device assigns a hybrid port to an 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN as an untagged member.
ACL assignment
You can specify an ACL for an 802.1X user to control its access to network resources. After the user
passes 802.1X authentication, the authentication server, either the local access device or a RADIUS
server, assigns the ACL to the port to filter the traffic from this user. In either case, you must configure the
ACL on the access device. You can change ACL rules while the user is online.

Configuration prerequisites

When you configure 802.1X, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• Configure an ISP domain and AAA scheme (local or RADIUS authentication) for 802.1X users. For
more information, see
If RADIUS authentication is used, create user accounts on the RADIUS server.
•
• If local authentication is used, create local user accounts on the access device and specify the LAN
access service for the user accounts. For more information, see
VLAN manipulation
The device assigns the Auth-Fail VLAN to the port as the PVID. All 802.1X
users on this port can access only resources in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The Auth-Fail VLAN is still the PVID on the port, and all 802.1X users on
this port are in this VLAN.
•
The device assigns the VLAN specified for the user to the port as the
PVID, and removes the port from the Auth-Fail VLAN. After the user
logs off, the user-configured PVID restores.
•
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, the initial PVID applies.
The user and all subsequent 802.1X users are assigned to the
user-configured PVID. After the user logs off, the PVID remains
unchanged.
VLAN manipulation
The device remaps the MAC address of the user to the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The user can access only resources in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The user is still in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
The device remaps the MAC address of the user to the server-assigned
VLAN.
If the authentication server assigns no VLAN, remaps the MAC address of
the user to the initial PVID on the port.
