Hi
I need to configure switch port for AP. On AP i will broadcast wireless network based on 802.1x authentication.
probably i shud see multiple user netlogin sesions on that port. Now what i see is onlu 1 policy applied for accesspoint and meny sesions whitout any policy applied.

it look like that:

test-switch-11.15 # sh netlog session por 3
Multiple authentication session entries

Accesspoint is autenticated by MAC and applied role contains one nativ vlan for AP management and multiple egress vlans.

Additionally when im connecting to wireless network im reciveing proper role on AP whitch my Xtreme Campus controler apply to that connection - but when im looking at Xtreme Network Management End systems it looks like after few minutes my session was deautenticated by switch

I dont know how to fix it to make 802.1x stable and autenticate user only by it

Hi Marek,

no need to do 802.1X authentication twice = wireless and wired.

Just set the role for the AP authentication to "AP aware" as described in the KB article below.
