Can EXOS act as 802.1x supplicant?

[Knut]

Hi! Can EXOS act as an 802.1X supplicant? I'm thinking about a scenario where I want an access switch to authenticate itself to the distribution switch before It’s uplink become active.

Hi Knut,

i had the same demand as you - but with EXOS/EOS it is currently not possible to do that.

I hope that Extreme will be provide this feature in the near future.

If you are interested how other huge vendor solve that demand - Cisco NEAT (Network Edge Authentication Topology).

Hi Knut,

Welcome to the Hub.

As far as i know Switch can only pass and it cannot act as a 802.1x Supplicant.
