802.1x

[Alex M]

Ok I got it.

By the way what is AV pair?

And how do you get NAS related attributes to control bandwidth from vendors?
Like if im using D-Link how could I get attributes from them?

 

Thanks!

Alex,

Features such as 'bandwidth and port blocking" (if any) are
allocated/configured on the _NAS_ (in this case a NAS port) via AV pair/s
provided by RADIUS... the '802.1x Supplicant" (Client/Endpoint) in simple
terms... provides a secure/standard conduit which facilitates the
communication of credentials (from the Supplicant to the Authenticator).
The '802.1x Authenticator" (or NAS) _MAY_ provision/enforce Authorization
for the specific endpoint in the context of a user or group...  

 

The management & granularity of this functionality verifies greatly by
switch vendor as a result providing this functionality across a multi-vendor
environment... in a large scale deployment... is often too complex to
seriously consider.<?
