Configuring the Authenticator
To configure the IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Network Access Control protocol on Ethernet interfaces
you must configure the authenticator statement at the [edit
protocols dot1x] hierarchy level. Use the
authentication-profile-name
access-profile-name statement to specify the
authenticating RADIUS server, and use the interface statement to
specify and configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface on the router specifically for
IEEE 802.1x protocol use; both at the [edit protocols dot1x
authenticator] hierarchy level.
