Configuring Supplicant Port Authentication
Use the Supplicant Port Authentication page to configure port access control on
ports that are configured in the supplicant role. To enable a port as an supplicant,
see
Modifying Port PAE
To configure supplicant port authentication:
Click Security > 802.1X > Supplicant Port Authentication in the navigation
window.
Select the port to configure and click Edit.
The Current Port Control field shows the current authorization mode for the port.
Configure the following:
•
Administrative Port Control—Select the port authorization mode. The
possible values are:
-
Force Unauthorized—Denies the selected interface system access by
moving the interface into unauthorized state.
-
Auto—The switch detects the mode of the interface based on the
outcome of authentication exchanges between the supplicant, the
authenticator, and the authentication server.
-
Force Authorized—The port is placed into an authorized state without
requiring authentication with the authentication server. The interface
sends and receives normal traffic without client port-based
authentication.
•
User Name—Select the user to be used by the port to identify itself as a
supplicant. The user must be one of the switch management users
configured in the switch. The password configured for the user will be used
in the authentication process. As a supplicant, the switch supports EAP-MD5
authentication method. (See
