DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 4 802.1x Configuration
4-6
Key points for configuration of this solution:
The ports connected to the Radius Server and the uplink ports are configured as uncontrolled
ports, so that the switch can normally communicate with the server and the authorized users
can access network resources through the uplink interface.
The ports connected to the user must be set as controlled ports to control the accessed users,
and the users cannot access network resources unless they first pass the authentication.
Characteristics of this solution:
Each 802.1x-enabled switch is responsible for a small number of clients, thus offering higher
speed.The devices are mutually independent, and the restart operation of the device does not
affect the users connected with other devices.
User management is performed on the Radius Server in a centralized manner. The
administrator does not have to know which switch a user is connected to, making management
much easier.
The administrator can manage the device on the access layer through the network.
B. The 802.1x-enabled device is used as the convergence layer device
This solution is described as below:
Requirements of this solution:
1. The user supports 802.1x. That is, it is installed with the 802.1x client (Windows XP
carried, Star-supplicant or other IEEE802.1x compliant client software).
