Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X)

Configuring Switch Ports as 802.1X Authenticators

Example: Configuring User-Based 802.1X Authentication

This example enables ports A10-A12 to operate as authenticators, and then

configures the ports for user-based authentication.

ProCurve(config)# aaa port-access authenticator a10-A12

ProCurve(config)# aaa port-access authenticator a10-A12 client-limit 4

Figure 12-4. Example of Configuring User-Based 802.1X Authentication

Example: Configuring Port-Based 802.1X Authentication

This example enables ports A13-A15 to operate as authenticators, and then

configures the ports for port-based authentication.

ProCurve(config)# aaa port-access authenticator a13-a15

ProCurve(config)# no aaa port-access authenticator a13-a15 client-limit

2. Reconfigure Settings for Port-Access

The commands in this section are initially set by default and can be reconfig-

ured as needed.

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >

[control < authorized | auto | unauthorized >]

Controls authentication mode on the specified port:

authorized: Also termed “Force Authorized

”. Gives

access to a device connected to the port. In this case,

the device does not have to provide 802.1X credentials

or support 802.1X authentication. (You can still

configure console, Telnet, or SSH security on the port.)

auto (the default): The device connected to the port must

support 802.1X authentication and provide valid

credentials to get network access. (Optional: You can

use the Open VLAN mode to provide a path for clients

without 802.1X supplicant software to down-load this

software and begin the authentication process. Refer

to “802.1X Open VLAN Mode” on page 12-31.)

unauthorized: Also termed “Force Unauthorized

”. Do not

grant access to the network, regardless of whether the

device provides the correct credentials and has 802.1X

support. In this state, the port blocks access to any

connected device.
