Slot-1: Authentication failed for Network Login MAC user

holden — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 12:49:00 GMT

Hi,

We have a strange issue on one of our Switches which are using mac-based netlogin with vendor tag for the VLAN and radius:

many Mac-Adresses can authenticate successfully to this Switch, some Mac-Adresses can not
The Mac-Adresses that can not authenticate, can authenticate on other Switches
The Mac-Adresses can not authenticate on any port, where other Mac-Adresses can authenticate.
The Configuration was not modified and had worked all the time properly
The Devices are connected on a ReachNxt through Fiber
I can see in the Radius logs that the authentication was State success
The Issue is VLAN independent
If the Netlogin assigns one VLAN to the Port, no other Mac-Adresses can authenticate

How can i debug this issue on EXOS Side?

Is there any debug command which Shows me all Information about the processing?

Thanks in Advance!

Hello, you can enable extra logging for radius/netlogin, that will provide you with the reasons probably.
Below an article describing how to do this.

Hi,

the switch received an acces-access packet (reply code 2).
Is there maybe a MAC-lock defined on the port? Or a restriction, that only one-mac is permitted?
Do you use the NAC-Appliances by ExtremeNetworks as a radius-server or another product?
Is every switch at your site configured to contact the same radius-server?

Best Regards
