802.1x wired authentication with HP/Aruba Procurve Switches
Another day and I am covering wired 802.1X authentication for another vendor. This time it is for HP/Aruba branded procurve switches . In this blog, I will just cover HP/Aruba procurve switches's configuration commands for 802.1x. I will not present a network topology and work with that. If someone is interested about a full network setup and example, I recommend reading part I , part II and compare the configuration accordingly. Our policy is simple, if a client is authenticated it will be assigned client vlan (vlan 246) from radius server. In all other case, switch port will be assigned to guest vlan (vlan 247) by the switch.
