Hello Stephan,

yes, with the GUI of XIQ it is not possible to configure 802.1x.

With the CLI PEAP is the default. MD5, TLS and TTLS is also possible, i.e.: supplicant name_of_supplicant eap-type md5 (https://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/reference/docs/cli-reference-guides.ht...)

I’ve requested an according FR at my sales engineer some months ago, but didn’t get an answer, yet.

Our production env is still under HM Classic. We are testing XIQ so that we can decide whether to migrate or replace all that stuff with HW of a vendor that has better support (or should I say: Support at all?)

Hello Christian,

good, then I'm not the only blind :-).
XCA can do that like Identifi. But in both cases you have to configure something to make the authentication start.

I assume that XIQ can do that too. The only question is where to set it.

Hi Stephan,

 

I would like to know this as well. IdentiFi APs have been able to do this and could authenticate themselves on their wired port by 802.1X PEAP or EAP-TLS but I haven’t seen any possibility on XIQ APs to do the same…

 

Kind regards

Christian

Hello Sam,

apparently I have not described this clearly. I want to know where I have to enable the authentication at the AP. Typically there is a place where I say use which data he takes and what method to use, for example, for PEAP (User and Password) or EAP-TLS (Certificate). Enable authentication on the switch is no problem.

In general you should be able to set that up in the switch template, but if you can let me know which switch model you are using I can be more specific?
