Hi, thanks for the reply.
(Sorry if this is OT) As I understand, I couldn't use 802.1x authentication on just the switches themselves? Since a client must have certificates to authenticate to a server. What i just wanted to accomplish is to authenticate the switches only on the radius server, so this md5 encryption I had setup should be sufficient?
Last question, could I just create a single user to be used by multiple switches? Is there any conflict going to happen? Switch count on branches ranges from 15-50.
