(Supplicant)

To set up an 802.1x infrastructure, we need to configure the authenticator, RADIUS and supplicants. In this example, we will use Microsoft 802.1x client as the supplicant and ZyXEL Vantage 50 as the RADIUS server. The following sections describe the procedures.

1.Authenticator Setup: IES-5000

1.1 RADIUS settings:

Enable 802.1x Authentication and specify the RADIUS server IP address, UDP port and shared Secret on the IES-5000. Make sure you enter the same UDP port and shared secret as the RADIUS server. Then save the settings to make them take effect.
