6.22.2 Profiles with Port Authentication
To configure Port Authentication for a port, the Profiles can be used so that the feature is automatically enabled when the port
is brought into service. The following Profiles include Port Authentication.
Note: Although the feature can be changed on the Service Management window for the port, it is recommended
to use Profiles and the Triple-Play form to configure the feature, since this will lead to fewer errors when
configuring a large number of ports.
6.22.2.1 iMAP (SBx3112) and AlliedWare Plus Device
The following figure shows the menu to bring up a Profile for an iMAP (in this case, the SBx3100) and AlliedWare Plus
device.
FIGURE 6-259 Profile for Port Authentication for iMAP (SBx3112)
The Profile itself has a Port Authentication tab, and the only option is to enable or disable the feature. For AlliedWare Plus
devices, there is the added field Radius Group, when a set of Radius servers are combined with a group label. (If there is not a
group, the label “Radius” is filled in.). Refer to the following figure.
