Configuring Port-Based Network Access Control
For port-based network access control, the switch must know which servers to use for authenticating
supplicant (802.1X) and non-supplicant (non-802.1X) user devices. In addition, the Universal Network
Profile (UNP) feature must be active to perform authentication and classification functions for a supplicant
and non-supplicate device.
Configuring the UNP feature consists of both profile-based and port-based configuration tasks. The
profile-based tasks define profile attributes that enforce network access control for devices classified into
the profile. The port-based tasks enable UNP functionality on individual ports.
The following sections describe configuring Access Guardian features to provide port-based network
access control:

• “Configuring UNP Port-Based Functionality” on page 28-38.
• “Configuring UNP Profiles” on page 28-51.
• “Configuring the UNP Profile Mapping” on page 28-54
• “Configuring QoS Policy Lists” on page 28-61.
