Securing Wired Clients

The following are the basic steps for configuring the controller for xSec wired clients:

1.Configure the VLAN to which the authenticated clients will be assigned. See Network Configuration Parameters on page 108 for information.

This VLAN must have an IP interface, and is a different VLAN from the port’s “native” VLAN that provides connectivity to the network.

2.Configure the user role for the authenticated xSec clients. See Roles and Policies on page 296 for information.

3.Configure the server group that will be used to authenticate clients using 802.1x. See Authentication Servers on page 168 for more information.
