Hi all,
Quick question that was raised today. We are currently using the
Landesk desktop management solution. If we move to 802.1x, then the
Ethernet port for a machine is blocked when a user is not actively
logged in. If that's the case, then the machine won't be manageable
because it cannot communicate via IP.
Is the answer here to default all unauthenticated systems into a VLAN
instead of blocking the port? Or is there some other way to handle this?
Somewhat related, if I have logged into computer A via 802.1x and then
reboot that computer, will the switch then block the ethernet port again
until I log into the 802.1x supplicant again? Or, if I have MAB enabled
as well, will the machine be placed into the last VLAN used when I last
authenticated? I'm thinking it will block, but thought it was worth asking.
Thanks,
--
