Important Points to Remember

• Dell EMC Networking OS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and MS-CHAPv2 with

PEAP.

• All platforms support only RADIUS as the authentication server.

• If the primary RADIUS server becomes unresponsive, the authenticator begins using a secondary RADIUS server, if configured.

• 802.1X is not supported on port-channels or port-channel members.

• The NAS-Port-Type attribute indicates the type of the physical port of the NAS which is authenticating the user. It is used in Access-

Request packets. The value of this attribute is set as Ethernet (15) for both EAP and MAB supplicants.
