Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1X)
802.1X Open VLAN Mode
Configuring 802.1X Open VLAN Mode. Use these commands to actually
configure Open VLAN mode. For a listing of the steps needed to prepare the
switch for using Open VLAN mode, refer to
“Preparation” on page 8-27.
Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator [e] < port-list >
[auth-vid < vlan-id >]
Configures an existing, static VLAN to be the Authorized-
Client VLAN.
[< unauth-vid < vlan-id >]
Configures an existing, static VLAN to be the Unautho-
rized-Client VLAN.
For example, suppose you want to configure 802.1X port-access with Open
VLAN mode on ports A10 - A20 and:
■ These two static VLANs already exist on the switch:
• Unauthorized, VID = 80
• Authorized, VID = 81
■ Your RADIUS server has an IP address of 10.28.127.101. The server
uses rad4all as a server-specific key string. The server is connected to
a port on the Default VLAN.
■ The switch's default VLAN is already configured with an IP address
of 10.28.127.100 and a network mask of 255.255.255.0

HPswitch(config)# radius host 10.28.127.101 key rad4all
Configures the switch to look for a RADIUS server with an IP address of 10.28.127.101
and an encryption key of rad4all.
HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator e a10-a20 unauth-vid 80
Configures ports A10 - A20 to use VLAN 80 as the Unauthorized-Client VLAN.
HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator e a10-a20 auth-vid 81
