XIQ - How can I enable wired 802.1x port authentication

[StephanH]

Hello,

how can I enable wired 802.1x authentication for an XIQ AP so that the AP authenticate on a switch port?

Ok, 

Reinhard. 802.1x with CLI works fine. Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much! I haven’t seen this setting before This is very nice to know that you can also bind a supplemental CLI to each AP individually.

Can you combine both settings, i.e. have a supplemental CLI for the whole network policy and also one on the AP or can you only enable supplemental CLI in one place?

Kind regards

Christian

Edit: nevermind my question. I saw you can set to either combine both supplemental CLIs or use the device-level supplemental CLI setting as an override 🙂

@CWurm With XIQ (on-prem) you can attach a supplemental CLI at network policy level (“Additional Settings” → “Policy Settings” → “Supplemental CLI”) as well as at AP level (“Device Configuration” → “Supplemental CLI”). Is this what you need?

@reinhardg thank you for your hint! Good to see that it is possible to enable 802.1X via supplemental CLI commands on an AP. I will try this in my test lab in the next few days to verify if that works 🙂

However with supplemental CLI we can only push a single credential across all devices which might be sufficient for some customers but not for all. I think I will open up a feature request as well to have this option available in the CLI and to have it customizable for every single AP as well.

Kind regards
