802.1x switch as supplicant

[dan.letkeman]

Hello,

I'm wondering if you can setup a switch to connect to the network as an 802.1x supplicant? I would like to be able to connect a switch to an existing switch on our network and assign a vlan to the port it was connected too. I can't seem to search for documentation reguarding this as all results are returned with cleint authentication through a switch.

Thanks,
Dan.

The function you are looking for is named "NEAT", here is an example-config:
