Network requirements
As shown in Figure 86, the terminals are connected to a switch to access the IP network. Configure triple
authentication on the Layer-2 interface of the switch that connects to the terminals so that a terminal
passing one of the three authentication methods, 802.1X authentication, portal authentication, and MAC
authentication, can access the IP network.
• Configure static IP addresses in network 192.168.1.0/24 for the terminals.
• Use the remote RADIUS server to perform authentication, authorization, and accounting and
configure the switch to send usernames carrying no ISP domain names to the RADIUS server.
• The local portal authentication server on the switch uses listening IP address 4.4.4.4. The switch
sends a default authentication page to the web user and forwards authentication data using HTTP.
