This Switch (Catalyst 3500 series XL) support RADIUS for 802.1x Authentication, or only TACACS+ ?

Regards

Should support TACACS and RADIUS but NOT 802.1x.

Hello,

The 802.1X authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. So in my case the Suplicant is a Client Laptop, The authenticator is a CISCO switch and the authentication in made in a Windows Server that support RADIUS (IAS) server.

So, If the switch not support 802.1x Authentication, he will not support RADIUS, ok
