Creating an Authentication Profile
Context
NAC implements access control on users. To facilitate NAC function configuration, the device uses authentication profiles to uniformly manage NAC configuration. You can configure parameters in an authentication profile to provide different access control modes for users. For example, you can configure the access profile bound to the authentication profile to determine the authentication mode for the authentication profile. The device then uses the authentication mode to authenticate users on the interface or VAP profile to which the authentication profile is applied.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run authentication-profile name authentication-profile-name
An authentication profile is created and the authentication profile view is displayed.
By default, the device has six built-in authentication profiles: default_authen_profile, dot1x_authen_profile, mac_authen_profile, portal_authen_profile, dot1xmac_authen_profile, and multi_authen_profile.
- The built-in authentication profile default_authen_profile and the compatibility profile converted after an upgrade are not counted in the configuration specification. The six built-in authentication profiles (default_authen_profile, dot1x_authen_profile, mac_authen_profile, portal_authen_profile, dot1xmac_authen_profile, and multi_authen_profile) can be modified and applied, but cannot be deleted.
- Before deleting an authentication profile, ensure that this profile is not bound to any interface or VAP profile. You can run the display authentication-profile configuration command to check whether the authentication profile is bound to an interface or VAP profile
