Table 51. Authenticator support by port type
Port-based mode
MAC-based mode
Table 52. Supplicant support by port type
Supplicant
The following considerations apply:
• A single port cannot be configured as both an Authenticator and Supplicant at
the same time.
• Only one port per AP can be configured as a Supplicant.
• If the AP is connecting to a switch port with 802.1X authentication enabled, the
AP's port type should be configured as a Trunk Port and its role should be
configured as Supplicant. The switch port should be configured as a Trunk port
in Port-based Authenticator mode.
• If there are multiple devices connected to an AP port (through a downstream
switch), the port can be configured as either Port-based or MAC-based Authen-
ticator. In Port-based mode, only one of the attached MAC hosts must be
authorized for all hosts to be granted access to the network. In MAC-based
mode, each MAC host is individually authenticated.
• If a Trunk Port is configured as a Supplicant, a user name and password must
be entered to authenticate the port to the 802.1X aware LAN switch.
• If an Access Port is configured as an Authenticator, the administrator must define
the RADIUS server that the Authenticator communicates with. All Ethernet ports
of a single AP are configured with the same RADIUS server.
Enable MAC authentication bypass: If MAC authentication bypass is enabled, the
port first attempts to authenticate the attached device by MAC address, and if that
fails, it attempts to authenticate the device using 802.1X.
