VOSS with EAPOL and RADIUS

RobertD1 — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 13:12:16 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to use EAPOL for VOSS without Auto-Sense? No fabric, no ZTP+, no DVR leaf, no onboarding. The switch is already online and connected in a remote retail store as a simple L2 switch but want to authorise port access. Access to the HQ and Internet is controlled by a local WAN Router.

So, manually configure EAPOL globally and on selected ports with RADIUS configured to use Extreme Control as the RADIUS Server.

The switch is accessible and in use today but want to add NAC to the Fabric Engine for additional security and authorizing access.

Thanks,

Rob

Would this work as a POC:

#RADIUS

radius server host <EAC> key ****** used-by eapol priority 1
radius enable
radius accounting enable

#EAPOL

enable eapol

interface gigabit 1/1-1/24

eapol port status auto
eapol port re-authentication enable

exit

Your commands plus the following:

int gig 1/1-1/24
flex-uni enable
exit
