EAP-TLS for Aironet 1231 ?

Mar 24, 2006 4 Replies

Hi,



is there a chance to let the accesspoint do an authentication additionally to the clients ?



is there a functionality on the accesspoints to start EAP-TLS authentication and authenticate with machine certificate ?



and i think for that you will need this "multiple authentication" feature on the switch don=B4t you ? Does anyone know the right name of this feature ?



Thanks a lot Greetz Eric

No.

An Aironet 1230 internal radius server can only authenticate LEAP or EAP-FAST. For EAP-TLS you'll need another RADIUS like M$ IAS, Cisco ACS or Funk Steel Belted RADIUS. Together with an external RADIUS the AIR 1230 will support multiple EAP-TLS authenticatet client stations.

with that i meant authentication via switch and not via accesspoint. should have write this more clearly. i don=B4t know the right name of the feature to do multiple authentication on the same port.=20

Sounds to me like 802.1x auth towards the switchport of the switch that the AP connects to, right ? I am not 100% into the Cisco lingo about dot1x, but the commands are called that (dot1x) As how to install a CERT into the AP, I would look it up on CCO or at your local partner.

Note that FreeRadius works fine as well.
