Configuring 802.1X Authentication

You can configure 802.1X authentication to implement interface-based network access control. This means you can authenticate and control access users connected to an access control device interface.

Pre-configuration Tasks

802.1X only provides a user authentication solution. To implement this solution, the AAA function must also be configured. Therefore, complete the following tasks before you configure 802.1X authentication:

  • Configure the authentication domain and AAA scheme on the AAA client.
  • Configure the user name and password on the RADIUS or HWTACACS server if RADIUS or HWTACACS authentication is used.
  • Configure the user name and password manually on the network access device if local authentication is used.

For the configuration of AAA client, see AAA Configuration.
