I just reconfigured my lab:

!
interface FastEthernet0/15
 switchport mode access
 dot1x pae authenticator
 dot1x port-control auto
 dot1x violation-mode protect
 dot1x guest-vlan 30
 dot1x auth-fail vlan 40
 spanning-tree portfast
end

--> client was put in the auf-fail vlan 40


!
interface FastEthernet0/15
 switchport mode access
 dot1x pae authenticator
 dot1x port-control auto
 dot1x violation-mode protect
 dot1x guest-vlan 30
 spanning-tree portfast
end

--> client: 12:33:30.953 Port state transition to AC_PORT_STATE_UNAUTHENTICATED (AC_PORT_STATUS_ERR_CLIENT_GENERIC_REJECTED)
12:33:30.953    The authentication process has failed.

Ok, according to this blog post http://tinyurl.com/mk6mcr , the client should be put in the guest-vlan. And it does! But: I had to wait a long time and thought it didn't work at the first time. I think the time could be reduced when tuning the
timers.

Thanks for your help, guys!

Have a nice weekend
Simon

Just wanted to add another point.

Let's say there 4 hosts connected to the switch port and guest vlan is
configured. Out of 4 hosts, if one hosts is 802.1x capable and sends the
EAPOL packet, the port is moved to un-authorized state and the
authentication process is started.

The guest vlan is enabled only till no EAPOL packets are heard from any of
the hosts. With *dot1x guest-vlan supplicant, *the guest vlan is still
enabled for failed clients irresepective of whether EAPOL is heard or not.

I hope, my understanding is correct. If I am wrong, please correct me.


With regards
Kings

Hi

The hosts that doesn't send the EAPOL packets are placed in the guest
VLANs.

The switch actually maintains an EAPOL packet history based on which it places the host in the guest VLANs. If you want to place authorization failed host in guest vlan then you need to configure *dot1x guest- vlan supplicant.* This command disables the EAPOL history. Even, if the EAPOL packets are detected, the failed clients are allowed to be placed on the
guest vlans.

  Simon/Paul,



Test it to be sure because it has changed a couple times. Try without the auth-fail vlan and see if it is put into the guest vlan. It may or may not.

My understanding is as follows. The guest vlan is used if their is no
802.1x supplicant on the client (or it is disabled) and therefore no
response to an EAP Polling Beacon.  The auth-fail vlan is when the
authentication actually fails. The device failing authentication will have access to the vlan specified in auth-fail. Your question was without a auth-fail vlan configured, will the device have access? I think you are
correct in saying it will not.  However, I need to double check that
myself. According to the docCD, the default is "There is no auth- fail vlan
configured" which does leave a bit of room for ambiguity.

Hi,
I just did a lab using cat3, acs, acs and xp for setting up an 802.1x
environment. Everything works fine, I could assing different vlans
based on the user credentials, DHCP included running on the switch.
Here's the configuration of the port facing to the xp ws.

cat3#sh run int fa 0/15
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 184 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/15
switchport mode access
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x port-control auto
dot1x violation-mode protect
dot1x guest-vlan 66
dot1x auth-fail vlan 66
end

cat3#

I extended it using an auth-fail and guest-vlan. Just for my
understanding: I could use the guest vlan to e. g. sperating guests
from my lan and only allowing them internet access or something like
this.
The auth-fail vlan is used, when the authentication fails. If none is
set, the port has no access. Is this correct?
TIA!

Cheers
Simon
