Configuring a switch for 802.1x

netopia · ‎02-15-2008

I have a 3750G switch and a Cisco ACS unit, and I am trying to configure the switch (or specifically one port on one vlan) to be an authenticator for 802.1x, and provide a DHCP address (either native or from an external server).

I attempted to do this once before, but the documentation I used led only to frustration. If anybody knows of clear instructions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Ben Brown

This link should help. Expalins the configs and the raidus attributes required at the ACS as well

the 802.1x on the switch is quite simple.

I myself prefer Juniper/Steelbelt radius

over ACS because steelbelt is so much simpler

to configure. I can get the whole thing up and

running in about 10 minutes.
