GE ML1200 instruction manual Example 7-1 Setting port control parameters, On following

ACCESS USING RADIUS CHAPTER 7: ACCESS USING RADIUS

7.2.2Example

Example 7-1demonstrates how to secure the network using port access. Ensure there is no 802.1x or RADIUS server defined. Only one RADIUS server can be defined for the entire network.

Example 7-1: Setting port control parameters

802.1X Authenticator Configuration

==================================

Status: Disabled

RADIUS Authentication Server

==================================

IP Address:	0.0.0.0
UDP Port:	1812
Shared Secret:

The RADIUS server is on port 2. This port is authenticated manually. If the RADIUS server is several hops away, it may be necessary to authenticate the interconnection ports. Make sure

the setport port=2 status=enable

control=forceauth initialize=assert command is executed before the auth enable command.

ML1200# auth

ML1200(auth)## setport port=2 status=enable control=forceauth initialize=assert

Successfully set port control parameter(s)

ML1200(auth)## auth disable

802.1X Authenticator is disabled.

ML1200(auth)## authserver ip=3.204.240.1 secret=secret

Successfully set RADIUS Authentication Server parameter(s)

The auth disable command is not necessary. However, it is shown for completeness in case a RADIUS server was defined with a previously set authentication scheme.

ML1200(auth)## auth enable

802.1X Authenticator is enabled.

ML1200(auth)## show auth ports
