hello angel,

yeah.. cat 500 supports 802.1x. you can verify this on the datasheet:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6545/products_data_sheet0900aecd80322aeb.html

if u can integrate this with an ACS server, u can authorize each user and assign them vlans dynamically...

hope this helps.. all the best..

What if authentication fails, or the PC is not configured for 802.1X ; can the port then give access to a guest vlan or default vlan like we can with other Cisco switches ?

Hi,

You can do the vlan arrisgnment using 802.1x on CE500. The configuration for 802.1X and Radius authentication server can be done with the help of Cisco Network Assistant (CNA). In the menu Network Security Settings you have to put the

security level on high. There is the possibility to configure the IP address of the RADIUS server and the RADIUS key.

In case you don?t have the CNA, you can download it for free from:

HTH, Please rate if it does.
