STEP 3 Select the role for the port:
• Authenticator—Select this option if the port must authenticate the remote
supplicant before granting access to a local port.
• Supplicant—Select this option if the port must be connected to an
authenticator and ask permission from the remote authenticator before
accessing a remote port. When a port is acting as a Supplicant, the user
name and password defined in the User Accounts list of the switch must be
entered in the Radius Server for the authentication to succeed.
STEP 4 Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running
Configuration.
Configuring Port Authentication
Use the Port Authentication page to configure port access control on ports that
serve as authenticators. By default, all ports are set to Authenticator. To enable a
port as an authenticator, see Modifying Port PAE Capabilities.
To edit a port authenticator settings:
STEP 1 Click Security > 802.1X > Port Authentication in the navigation window.
The Port Authentication Table displays the current configuration of each port.
STEP 2 Select the port to configure and click Edit.
STEP 3 Enter the parameters:
• Local Database User Name—Use the left and right arrows to move the
configured management users to the Available or Selected lists. Only users
in the Selected list have access to the port, subject to authentication. This list
is applicable only when the authentication is local, and not when a RADIUS
server is used for authentication.
• Current Port Control—The current authorization status of the port
(Authorized or Unauthorized).
• Administrative Port Control—Select the port authorization mode. The
possible values are:
- Force Unauthorized—Select this option to always deny port access by
supplicants attaching to the port. If selected, the port control status
becomes Unauthorized.
