Configuring 802.1X Open VLAN Mode. Use these commands to actually configure Open VLAN mode. For a listing of the steps needed to prepare the switch for using Open VLAN mode, refer to “Preparation” on page 50.

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator [e] < port-list > [auth-vid < vlan-id>]

Configures an existing, static VLAN to be the Authorized-

Client VLAN.

[< unauth-vid < vlan-id>]

Configures an existing, static VLAN to be the Unauthorized -Client VLAN.

For example, suppose you want to configure 802.1X port-access with Open VLAN mode on ports 10 - 20 and:

These two static VLANs already exist on the switch:

UnAuthorized, VID = 80

Authorized, VID = 81

Your RADIUS server has an IP address of 10.28.127.101. The server uses rad4all as a server- specific key string. The server is connected to a port on the Default VLAN.

The switch's default VLAN is already configured with an IP address of 10.28.127.100 and a network mask of 255.255.255.0

HPswitch(config)# aaa authentication port-access eap-radius

Configures the switch for 802.1X authentication using an EAP-RADIUS server.

HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator 10-20

Configures ports 10 - 20 as 802.1 authenticator ports.

HPswitch(config)# radius host 10.28.127.101 key rad4all

Configures the switch to look for a RADIUS server with an IP address of 10.28.127.101 and an encryption key of rad4all.

HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator e 10-20 unauth-vid 80

Configures ports 10 - 20 to use VLAN 80 as the Unauthorized-Client VLAN.

HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator e 10-20 auth-vid 81

Configures ports 10 - 20 to use VLAN 81 as the Authorized-Client VLAN.
