Configuring 802.1X 802.1X Overview
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide April 2006 page 22-7
802.1X ports may also be initialized if there a problem on the port. Initializing a port drops connectivity to
the port and requires the port to be re-authenticated. See “Initializing an 802.1X Port” on page 22-13.
802.1X Accounting
802.1X authentication sessions may be logged if servers are set up for 802.1X accounting. Accounting
may also be done through the local Switch Logging feature. For information about setting up accounting
for 802.1X, see “Configuring Accounting for 802.1X” on page 22-13.
Compared to Authenticated VLANs
A given port cannot be both a VLAN-authenticated port and an 802.1X port. An 802.1X user, however,
may be authenticated and moved into an authenticated VLAN if the RADIUS authentication server speci-
fies a VLAN for that user and the authenticated VLAN is set up on the switch through the
vlan authentication command. For information about configuring VLANs with authentication, see
Chapter 4, “Configuring VLANs.”
Both 802.1X and authenticated VLANs may use the same RADIUS authentication server. See Chapter 20,
“Managing Authentication Servers,”for information about using a RADIUS server for authentication.
