802.1X authentication configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 29, the access device performs 802.1X authentication for users that connect to port
Ethernet 1/0/1. Implement MAC-based access control on the port, so the logoff of one user does not
affect other online 802.1X users.
Use RADIUS servers to perform authentication, authorization, and accounting for the 802.1X users. If
RADIUS authentication fails, perform local authentication on the access device. If RADIUS accounting
fails, the access device logs the user off.
Configure the host at 10.1.1.1/24 as the primary authentication and accounting servers, and the host at
10.1.1.2/24 as the secondary authentication and accounting servers. Assign all users to the ISP domain
aabbcc.net, which accommodates up to 30 users.
Configure the shared key as name for packets between the access device and the authentication server,
and the shared key as money for packets between the access device and the accounting server.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure the 802.1X client. If HP iNode is used, do not select the Carry version info option in the
client configuration. (Details not shown.)
2. Configure the RADIUS servers and add user accounts for the 802.1X users. For information about
the RADIUS commands used on the access device in this example, see Security Command
Reference. (Details not shown.)
3. Assign an IP address to each interface on the access device. (Details not shown.)
4. Configure user accounts for the 802.1X users on the access device:
# Add a local user with the username localuser, and password localpass in plaintext. (Make sure
the username and password are the same as those configured on the RADIUS server.)
<Device> system-view
[Device] local-user localuser
[Device-luser-localuser] service-type lan-access
[Device-luser-localuser] password simple localpass
# Configure the idle cut function to log off any online user that has been idled for 20 minutes.
