3. Configure the 802.1x Authentication Method

This task specifies how the switch will authenticate the credentials provided
by a supplicant connected to a switch port configured as an 802.1x authenti­
cator.
Syntax: aaa authentication port-access < local | eap-radius | chap-radius >
Determines the type of RADIUS authentication to use.
local Use the switch's local username and password for
supplicant authentication.
eap-radius Use EAP-RADIUS authentication. (Refer to the
documentation for your RADIUS server.)
chap-radius Use CHAP-RADIUS (MD-5) authentication.
(Refer to the documentation for your RADIUS server appli­
cation.)
For example, to enable the switch to perform 802.1x authentication using one
or more EAP-capable RADIUS servers:
Configuration command
for EAP-RADIUS
authentication.
802.1x (Port-Access)
configured for EAP
RADIUS authentication.
