Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

An authentication profile uniformly manages 802.1X or Portal configuration. The authentication profile is bound to the interface or VAP profile view to enable 802.1X, implementing access control on the users in the interface or VAP profile. The authentication type of the users in the interface or VAP profile is determined by the access profile bound to the authentication profile.

Prerequisites

An authentication profile has been created using the authentication-profile command in the system view.

Precautions

You can run this command in Ethernet interface view, Eth-Trunk interface view, Loopback interface view. Currently, in loopback interface view, you can only bind the authentication template named portal_authen_default to the loopback0 interface.

WAN, 40GE, 100GE interfaces do not support this command.

Example

# Apply the authentication profile m1 to GigabitEthernet 0/0/1.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] authentication-profile name m1
[sysname-authentication-profile-m1] quit
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[sysname-GigabitEthernet 0/0/1] authentication-profile m1

# Enable Portal authentication on Loopback 0.

<sysname> system-view
