RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Introduced with software release M.10.xx on the 3400cl switches, this feature uses RADIUS-assigned, per-port ACLs for Layer-3 filtering of inbound IP traffic from authenticated clients. A given RADIUS- assigned ACL is identified by a unique username/password pair or client MAC address, and applies only to traffic from clients that authenticate with the same unique credentials. The ACL is applied to the switch port used by the client and remains in force for the duration of the client session. ACL services for an authenticated client include filtering inbound IP traffic based on destination and/or IP traffic type (such as TCP and UDP traffic) and traffic counter options. Implementing the feature for a given client requires the following:

■RADIUS authentication of the client must be available on the switch through either 802.1X, Web authentication, or MAC authentication.
