dot1x supplicant anonymous identify

Use dot1x supplicant anonymous identify to configure an 802.1X client anonymous identifier.

Use undo dot1x supplicant anonymous identify to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant anonymous identify identifier

undo dot1x supplicant anonymous identify

Default

No 802.1X client anonymous identifier exists.

Parameters

identifier: Specifies an 802.1X client anonymous identifier, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 253 characters.

Usage guidelines

At the first authentication phase, packets sent to the authenticator are not encrypted. The use of an 802.1X client anonymous identifier prevents the 802.1X client username from being disclosed at the first phase. The 802.1X client sends the anonymous identifier to the authenticator instead of the 802.1X client username. The 802.1X client username will be sent to the authenticator in encrypted packets at the second phase.

If no 802.1X client anonymous identifier is configured, the 802.1X client sends the 802.1X client username in the first phase.

The configured 802.1X client anonymous identifier takes effect only if one of the following EAP authentication methods is used:

·     PEAP-MSCHAPv2.

·     PEAP-GTC.

·     TTLS-MSCHAPv2.

·     TTLS-GTC.

If the MD5-Challenge EAP authentication is used, the configured 802.1X client anonymous identifier does not take effect. The 802.1X client uses the 802.1X client username at the first authentication phase.

Do not configure the 802.1X client anonymous identifier if the vendor-specific authentication server cannot identify anonymous identifiers.

Examples

# Configure the 802.1X client anonymous identifier as bbb on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dot1x supplicant anonymous identify bbb

Usage guidelines

Make sure you have configured 802.1X authentication on the authenticator before you use this command.

To ensure a successful authentication, do not enable the 802.1X client on an Ethernet interface in an aggregation group.

Examples

# Enable the 802.1X client feature on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

dot1x supplicant mac-address

Use dot1x supplicant mac-address to configure an 802.1X client MAC address used for 802.1X client authentication.

Use undo dot1x supplicant mac-address to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant mac-address mac-address

undo dot1x supplicant mac-address

Default

An Ethernet interface uses the interface's MAC address for 802.1X client authentication. If the interface's MAC address is unavailable, the interface uses the device's MAC address for 802.1X client authentication.

Views

Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H, excluding multicast, all-zero, and all-F MAC addresses. When entering a MAC address, you can omit the leading zeros in each H section. For example, enter f-e2-1 for 000f-00e2-0001.

Usage guidelines

When the device has multiple Ethernet interfaces that act as 802.1X clients, each interface requires a unique MAC address to pass 802.1X client authentication.

You can use either of the following methods to configure a unique MAC address for each 802.1X client-enabled interface:

·     Execute the mac-address command in Ethernet interface view.

·     Execute the dot1x supplicant mac-address command.

Examples

# Configure the 802.1X client MAC address for 802.1X client authentication as 0001-0001-0001.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dot1x supplicant mac-address 1-1-1

dot1x supplicant password

Use dot1x supplicant password to set an 802.1X client password.

Use undo dot1x supplicant password to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant password { cipher | simple } string

undo dot1x supplicant password

Default

No 802.1X client password exists.

Parameters

cipher: Specifies a password in encrypted form.

simple: Specifies a password in plaintext form. For security purposes, the password specified in plaintext form will be stored in encrypted form.

string: Specifies the password. Its plaintext form is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters. Its encrypted form is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 201 characters.

Examples

# Set the 802.1X client password to 123456 in plaintext form on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

dot1x supplicant ssl-client-policy

Use undo dot1x supplicant ssl-client-policy to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant ssl-client-policy policy-name

undo dot1x supplicant ssl-client-policy policy-name

Default

The default SSL client policy is used.

network-admin

Parameters

policy-name: Specifies an SSL client policy by its name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. Make sure the specified SSL client policy already exists.

Usage guidelines

If the PEAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAP-GTC, TTLS-MSCHAPv2, or TTLS-GTC authentication is used, the 802.1X client authentication process is as follows:

·     The first phase—The 802.1X client acts as an SSL client to negotiate with the SSL server.

The SSL client uses the SSL parameters specified in the specified SSL client policy to establish a connection to the SSL server for negotiation. The SSL parameters include a PKI domain, supported cipher suites, and the SSL version. For information about SSL client policies, see Security Configuration Guide.

·     The second phase—The 802.1X client uses the negotiated result to encrypt and transmit the interchanged authentication packets.

If the MD5-Challenge authentication is used, the 802.1X client does not use an SSL client policy during the authentication process.

Examples

# Specify SSL client policy policy_1 on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dot1x supplicant ssl-client-policy policy_1

dot1x supplicant transmit-mode

Use dot1x supplicant transmit-mode to specify a mode used by 802.1X client authentication for sending EAP-Response and EAPOL-Logoff packets.

Use undo dot1x supplicant transmit-mode to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant transmit-mode { multicast | unicast }

undo dot1x supplicant transmit-mode

Default

802.1X client authentication uses unicast mode to send EAP-Response and EAPOL-Logoff packets.

network-admin

Parameters

multicast: Specifies multicast mode for sending EAP-Response and EAPOL-Logoff packets, of which the destination addresses are multicast MAC address 01-80-C2-00-00-03.

unicast: Specifies unicast mode for sending EAP-Response and EAPOL-Logoff packets.

Usage guidelines

When the device has 802.1X client-enabled interfaces, use the multicast mode to avoid 802.1X authentication failures if the NAS device does not support receiving unicast EAP-Response or EAPOL-Logoff packets.

Examples

# Configure 802.1X client authentication to use multicast mode for sending EAP-Response and EAPOL-Logoff packets on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

dot1x supplicant username

Use dot1x supplicant username to configure an 802.1X client username.

Use undo dot1x supplicant username to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x supplicant username username

undo dot1x supplicant username

Default

No 802.1X client username exists.

Views

Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

username: Specifies the 802.1X client username, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 253 characters.

Usage guidelines

802.1X client usernames can include domain names. The supported domain name delimiters include the at sign (@), backslash (\), dot (.), and forward slash (/). Usernames that include domain names can use the format of username@domain-name, domain-name\username, username.domain-name, or username/domain-name.

If you want to use backslash (\) as the domain name delimiter, you must enter the escape character (\) along with the backslash (\) sign.

If a username string includes multiple configured delimiters, the device takes the rightmost delimiter in the username string as the domain name delimiter. For more information about the domain name delimiters, see the dot1x domain-delimiter command.

Examples

# Configure the 802.1X client username as aaa on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dot1x supplicant username aaa
