Hello Swan-Zou,

 

I think this section may help.

Allows 802.1X authentication for either a single supplicant or multiple supplicants on an interface

Hello Charles,

Here is my 802.1x setup


Dot1x Status:             Enable
Port Control:             AUTO
Re-Authentication:        Enable
Tx Period:                120 seconds
Quiet Period:             120 seconds
Supplicant Timeout:       3 seconds
Server Timeout:           5 seconds
Re-Auth Interval:         3 seconds
Max-EAP-Req:              5
Host Mode:                MULTI_AUTH

It's already configure in a multisupplicant mode but i want to do the authentication with the mac adress of my supplicant but they don't show into my NAC system.

My NAC use Radius and the radius server is configure on my switch.

Thanks for your help and quick reply.

Regards,

Swan ZOU

Swan-Zou,

 

If I understand your request, I don't think it is possible to do. If you are wanting ro connect to the Radius switch via MAC address that won't be possible as you can only use the IP to connect to radius. 

 

Let me know if this helps, or if I misunderstood your request.

Hello Chris,

No I mean I have used the ip to connect my RADIUS with the proper port I want my switch to do MAC authentication or MAB but can't find a way to do it on OS 10 so if you know any other way to do it.

With OS9 you could try using

 

dot1x static-mab

 

but with OS10 it doesn't look to be listed or supported.
