  • 1.  802.1X Authentication and Dynamic VLAN Assignment with Aruba 1960 switch

    Posted 06-02-2023 01:13 PM

    I'm testing with Radius authentication (NPS server + AD) and dynamic VLAN assignment for a wired network. User authentication has so far failed 
    on my client machine. I double-checked, and the user credentials are correct. My switch's VLAN settings are provided below. Can somebody assist 
    me if I missed something or if the configurations need to be corrected? 

    > VLAN
    Created VLAN 20 and 30

    > VLAN interface configuration
    Tagged VLANs: 20,30
    Untagged VLAN: 1

    > Radius configuration
    Enabled "802.1x authentication mode"
    Enabled "802.1x accounting mode"

    Radius Server IP: 192.168.1.10
    Authentication port: 1812
    Accounting port: 1813
    Server priority: 1
    Secret: ########

    > Port access control: 
    Enabled "Admin mode"

    > Port configuration (interfaces)
    Control mode: Auto
    Enabled "VLAN assignment"

    PS: This is not a MAC-based authentication.

    Hi

    Yes, I have found a solution for this issue. Working with Clearpass I have added a radius attribute in the reply: Avenda-Tag-Id (1) = 0. 

    So the total response in the profile to allow access and put the port in VLAN 10 for example is: 

    Tunnel-Type = VLAN,

    Tunnel-Medium-Type = IEEE-802,

    Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = "10"

    Avenda-Tag-Id (1) = 0

    You can of course add other attributes like timeout etc.

    The same answer in a similar thread: https://community.arubainstanton.com/discussion/aruba-instant-on-1960-8021x-radius-clearpass-port-access-control.

    If you have any questions, just let me know.
