Requiring 802.1x login before allowing access to network resources
- by Calvin Froedge
I have a ZyXel GS2200-24 managed switch, and a free-radius server running on Ubuntu 11.10. Radius is configured and when I log into the switch the authentication goes through Radius.
Now, I'm trying to ensure that access to web resources (as an example, I set up a web server on the ip 192.168.1.2) requires first authenticating with radius, before the switch will allow the connection.
Am I correct that this should be handled at the switch level? What are these rules usually called / how are they usually defined?
