Command Reference Guide

set authentication dot1x 233

However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS

overrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an

authentication request to the server group.

If the user does not support 802.1X, MSS attempts to perform MAC

authentication for the user. In this case, if the switch’s configuration

contains a set authentication mac command that matches the SSID the

user is attempting to access and the user’s MAC address, MSS uses the

method specified by the command. Otherwise, MSS uses local MAC

authentication by default.

If the username does not match an authentication rule for the SSID the

user is attempting to access, MSS uses the fallthru authentication type

configured for the SSID, which can be last-resort, web (for WebAAA),

or none.

Examples — The following command configures EAP-TLS authentication

in the local WX database for SSID mycorp and 802.1X client Geetha:

WX4400# set authentication dot1x ssid mycorp Geetha eap-tls

local

success: change accepted.

The following command configures PEAP-MS-CHAP-V2 authentication at

RADIUS server groups sg1 through sg3 for all 802.1X clients at

example.com who want to access SSID examplecorp:

WX4400# set authentication dot1x ssid examplecorp

*@example.com peap-mschapv2 sg1 sg2 sg3

success: change accepted.
