Configuring an Authentication Password for VLAN or Stacked VLAN Ranges

You can specify an authentication password for dynamically created VLAN or stacked VLAN interfaces at the [edit interfaces interface-name auto-configure vlan-ranges authentication] or [edit interfaces interface-name auto-configure stacked-vlan-ranges authentication] hierarchy level. This password is sent to the external AAA authentication server for subscriber authentication.

Note:

You must configure the username-include (Interfaces) statement to enable the use of authentication. The password (Interfaces) statement is not required and does not cause the interface to use authentication if the username-include (Interfaces) statement is not included.

To configure an authentication password:

  1. Access the interface over which you want to create dynamic VLANs.
  2. Edit the VLAN auto-configure stanza.
  3. Edit the vlan-ranges or stacked-vlan-ranges stanza.

    or

  4. Edit the VLAN authentication stanza.
  5. Specify a password that is sent to the external AAA authentication server for subscriber authentication.
