Creating an Authentication Profile
Context
802.1X implements access control on users. To facilitate 802.1X function configuration, the device uses authentication profiles to uniformly manage 802.1X configuration. You can configure parameters in an authentication profile to provide different access control modes for users. For example, you can configure the access profile bound to the authentication profile to determine the authentication mode for the authentication profile. The device then uses the authentication mode to authenticate users on the interface or VAP profile to which the authentication profile is applied.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run authentication-profile name authentication-profile-name
An authentication profile is created and the authentication profile view is displayed.
By default, no authentication profile is created.
- Before deleting an authentication profile, ensure that this profile is not bound to any interface or VAP profile. You can run the display authentication-profile configuration command to check whether the authentication profile is bound to interface or VAP profile
