Configure a Port for A wired authentication port is an Ethernet port that has 802.1X Wired Authentication authentication enabled for access control. Like wireless users, users that

are connected to the WX switch over Ethernet can be authenticated before they can be authorized to use the network. However, data for wired users is not encrypted after they are authenticated.

For 802.1X clients, wired authentication works only if the clients are directly attached to the wired authentication port, or are attached through a hub that does not block forwarding of packets from the client to the PAE group address (01:80:c2:00:00:03). Wired authentication works in accordance with the 802.1X specification, which prohibits a client from sending traffic directly to an authenticator’s MAC address until the client is authenticated. Instead of sending traffic to the authenticator’s MAC address, the client sends packets to the PAE group address. The 802.1X specification prohibits networking devices from forwarding PAE group address packets, because this would make it possible for multiple authenticators to acquire the same client.

For non-802.1X clients, who use MAC authentication, WebAAA, or last-resort authentication, wired authentication works if the clients are directly attached or indirectly attached.

If you plan to specify a RADIUS server group, configure the group first, before using the wizard. The wizard does not provide a way to configure RADIUS servers or groups. (See “Viewing and Configuring RADIUS Settings” on page 298.)
