802.1x and archlinux
Hi,
bringing my personal laptop to work on a regular basis and now they have implemented 802.1x based authenication.
We are in an active directory domain/forest.
I have managed to expert my personal certificate and the trusted root cert and got my apple ipod touch to work and was wondering if there is a way to get it to work on my laptop with wifi?

I don't use it myself, but man wpa_supplicant says it's supported. It would probably be helpful if you describe what you've tried so far - people will just be guessing otherwise.

Cisco Systems vs "CSIRO" 802.11a and 802.11g infringed upon the '069 patent
Hi,
any news about Cisco Systems and the "CSIRO" 802.11a and 802.11g infringed upon the '069 patent ?
http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/
Dear Customer
As you may be aware, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation ("CSIRO") sued Buffalo, Inc. and Buffalo Technology (USA), Inc. ("Buffalo"), for alleged infringement of United States Patent No. 5,487,069 ("the '069 patent"). Subsequently, CSIRO also asserted its patent against the entire wireless LAN industry, including, Microsoft, Intel, Accton, SMC and Netgear.
In it's lawsuit against Buffalo, CSIRO claimed certain Buffalo wireless networking products compliant with IEEE standards 802.11a and 802.11g infringed upon the '069 patent. Buffalo believed at that time and continues to believe that there are no grounds for CSIRO's allegations of infringement. The United States district court, however, found Buffalo to infringe the '069 patent and enjoined the importation and sale of Buffalo's IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g compliant products.
CSIRO's lawsuits are against the entire wireless LAN industry and could affect the supply of wireless LAN products by any manufacturer, not just Buffalo. The entire industry is resisting CSIRO's attempts to enjoin the sale of wireless LAN products. Recently, Microsoft, 3COM Corporation, SMC Networks, Accton Technology Corporation, Intel, Atheros Communications, Belkin International, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel Networks, Nvidia Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP AG, Yahoo, Nokia, and the Consumer Electronics Association filed briefs in support of Buffalo's position that injunctive relief is inappropriate in this case.
During the period of time that the injunction is in effect (10/1/2007), Buffalo cannot offer for sale, sell, import, or use its IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g compliant products in the United States. A list of the products covered by the injunction is attached here . The injunction does not prohibit sales of pre-existing inventories of products by Buffalo's customers. In addition, Buffalo has secured CSIRO's agreement to permit the replacement of defective products under warranty. None of Buffalo's other products are currently affected by this injunction.
While Buffalo believes that it will be successful in reversing the district court's decision and will obtain a stay of the injunction pending a decision on the merits, the Court of Appeals has not yet issued a decision. Should the Court of Appeals issue a decision staying the injunction, you will be promptly notified. After the stay is issued or a favorable decision on the merits is obtained, Buffalo will be able to resume the supply of IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g products
Please rest assured that Buffalo continues to stand behind their products and will continue to support all of our loyal customers as it relates to product warranties, technical support and the like without interruption.I suspect after reading the patent and the litigation that you mentioned above, that the US District Court decision will be reversed as the patent appears to be very vague in its contsruction and verbage. Furthermore, the intent to hold the IEEE hostage on the ratification of 802.11n will not bode well in the court's eyes. If in fact the case is reversed, I believe that the members of CSIRO will be in danger of lost profits litigation from Buffalo. Stay tuned to this bat channel.

MAB/802.1x and Alkatel IP Phones
Hi All
We have a distributed deployment where Alkatel ip-touch phones are authentictaed via MAB. Alkatel ip touch phones has 802.1x enabled by default and the phone tries eapol first and then switch authenticates via MAB which is fine. Once authenticated its working as expected. The issue is the phone keeps on periodic retry after x amount of minutes for 802.1x again which triggers the phone to reboot again and goes via the whole process. This interupts the voice. We could disable 802.1x but its per phone basis. Has anyone came across this issue and found a way to diable globally via the call manager etcc. or any workarounf from ISE/switch side?
Thanks
GHi Tarik,
Thanks for the reply, please find below the switch port config lines, its a 370x switch, IPbase and universalon 15.2-1.E1 image
Note- Since the 8021x is enabled by default the phone initially tries 802.1x and after failing , the switch goes to the next auth method which is MAB which is successful. The issue is the phone again initiales a 802.1x packet after some time and the whole process starts again and because 8021x is failed the phone reboots again. I think this is the way this type of phone work and we cannot do much unless disable 802.1x or install the Alkatel CA certs in the ISE cert store?

Potential Security Hole with 802.1x and Voice VLANs?
I have been looking at 802.1x and Voice VLANs and I can see what I think is a bit of a security hole.
If a user has no authentication details to gain access via 802.1x - i.e. they have not been given a User ID or the PC doesn't have a certificate etc. If they attach a PC to a switchport that is configured with a Voice VLAN (or disconnect an IP Phone and plug the PC direct into the switchport) they can easily see via packet sniffing the CDP packets that will contain the Voice VLAN ID. They can then easily create a Tagged Virtual NIC (via the NIC utilities or driver etc) with the Voice VLAN 802.1q Tag. Assuming DHCP is enabled for the Voice VLAN they will get assigned an IP address and have access to the IP network. I appreciate the VLAN can be locked down at the Layer-3 level with ACL's so any 'non-voice related' traffic is blocked but in this scenario the user has sucessfully bypassed 802.1x authentication and gain access to the network?
Has anyone done any research into this potential security hole?
Thanks
AndyThanks for the reply. To be honest we would normally deploy some or all of the measures you list but these don't around the issue of being able to easily bypass having to authenticate via 802.1x.
As I said I think this is a hole but don't see any solutions at the moment except 802.1x on the IP Phone, although at the moment you can't do this with Voice VLANs?

MAB, 802.1x and ACS 4.2
Hi all,
Currently i'm using an ACS4.2 as radius server, some switch 2960-s ios 12.2.(55)se5, ipphone Alcatel iptouch 4018 and i would like to assign dinamic vlan to some specific users/laptop Daisy-chained to ip phone.
Logic connection is: users laptop---->ipphone---->switch---->radius
What i need is:
if I connect MY laptop to the ipphone port, i receive a specific vlan ( vlan 58 )
if SOMEONE else ( i.e. a consultant ) connect his laptop to the SAME ipphone port (if available) he has to receive a different vlan ( vlan 1).
I've been able to reach the goal using MACRO but it tooks too much time to authenticate ( approx 1 min ) so i give up and tried a different faster way ( 802.1x and MAB ).
i've been able to authenticate the ip-phone using 802.1x auth and to receive the correct vlan when i connect MY laptop (MAB auth) but i was not able to provide the VLAN 1 to the Consultant when he connect his laptop even if the "authentication event fail action authorize vlan 1" is configured.
I used the dot1x auth-fail vlan because i'm not able to use MAB or 802.1x auth on external laptop. I also tried with guest vlan with no luck.
In both case the "consultant" remain in "auth failed"
Here my current configuration
dot1x system-auth-control
dot1x guest-vlan supplicant
identity profile default
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 30
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication event fail action authorize vlan 1
authentication order mab dot1x
authentication port-control auto
mab
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 2
dot1x max-reauth-req 1
storm-control broadcast level 2.00
storm-control multicast level 2.00
spanning-tree portfast
On ACS side i have 2 groups
first Group authenticate the iphone and supply the voice vlan ( vlan 30)
Second Group authenticate using MAB and supply the vlan 58
is there a different way to accomplish this task?
Thank you in advancehi,
any ideas?
thx -
Is it possible to enable dot1x and voice on the same interface? If so which switches and IOS support this feature ?
Any references to documents ?
Commands that cannot be configured together :-
switch voice vlan xxx
dot1x port-control autoIt is possible to enable 802.1X and voice on the same port. If the phone does CDP, it is allowed through, regardless of the 802.1X state of the port with this config. Here's the following switches that support this, with the minimum required releases:
CatOS (6500) - 7.6(1)
IOS (4500) - 12.1(20)EWA
IOS (3750) - 12.2(25)SEA
IOS (3560) - 12.2(25)SEA
IOS (3550) - 12.1(12c)EA1
IOS (2960) - 12.2(25)FX
IOS (2950) - 12.1(12c)EA1
IOS (2940) - 12.1(13)AY
Hope this helps, -
802.1X and CAT Express 500
Hi guys,
I want to know if the Cat Express 500 support dynamic vlan assigment through 802.1X.Hi,
You can do the vlan arrisgnment using 802.1x on CE500. The configuration for 802.1X and Radius authentication server can be done with the help of Cisco Network Assistant (CNA). In the menu Network Security Settings you have to put the
security level on high. There is the possibility to configure the IP address of the RADIUS server and the RADIUS key.
In case you don?t have the CNA, you can download it for free from:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/NetworkAssistant
HTH, Please rate if it does.

I had read articles on cco, and I believed for the same switch port we can have 802.1x configure and the voice vlan configure. It mean the IP phone is connect to the switch port with 802.1x configured, but the phone will not autheticate, only the workstation connect to phone data port will get authenticate.
I had configured 802.1x and test with notebook logon and able to access the network. Now I would like to test the notebook attached to IP phone data port, and the phone connect to switch port configure with 802.1x. But I failed to add voice vlan commmand. Why ?

CIG01-ENT-SW1(config-if)#switchport voice vlan 14
Command rejected: Gi9/48 is Dot1x enabled port.Using IEEE 802.1x Authentication with Voice VLAN Ports
A voice VLAN port is a special access port associated with two VLAN identifiers:
?VVID to carry voice traffic to and from the IP phone. The VVID is used to configure the IP phone connected to the port.
?PVID to carry the data traffic to and from the workstation connected to the switch through the IP phone. The PVID is the native VLAN of the port.
In single-host mode, only the IP phone is allowed on the voice VLAN. In multiple-hosts mode, additional clients can send traffic on the voice VLAN after a supplicant is authenticated on the PVID. When multiple-hosts mode is enabled, the supplicant authentication affects both the PVID and the VVID.
A voice VLAN port becomes active when there is a link, and the device MAC address appears after the first CDP message from the IP phone. Cisco IP phones do not relay CDP messages from other devices. As a result, if several Cisco IP phones are connected in series, the switch recognizes only the one directly connected to it. When IEEE 802.1x authentication is enabled on a voice VLAN port, the switch drops packets from unrecognized Cisco IP phones more than one hop away.
When IEEE 802.1x authentication is enabled on a port, you cannot configure a port VLAN that is equal to a voice VLAN.
Waht kind of switch do you have? In 3550 I can configure the port for both vvid and pvid:
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 3
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 2
no ip address
dot1x port-control auto
spanning-tree portfast
end
Nevertheless, as the statement above indicates, the port will need to be configured for multi-host in order the PC behind the phone get autehntication:
under the interface configure "dot1x host-mode multi-host"
Nevermind, I just realized that you might have a 5600 running native, checking the configuration guide and realese notes it does not looks like dot1x and vvlan can play together in that platform. -
Macintosh OSX, 802.1x and PEAP
I'm preparing to implement 802.1x port authentication for both wired and wireless connections. The authentication server is Windows 2003 IAS. In the test environment, Windows XP clients can connect fine, but I'm not sure how to configure this for Mac OSX workstations (10.4.6). Has anyone successfully done this? If so could you please explain the proceedure, or direct me to documentation that explains the process?
Assuming you're using NAC fraework then it's bad news, 802.1x won't work on a Mac. If you use 802.1x and L2IP in combination then wired Macs will work but wireless Macs will not. The reason is that the Cisco CTA for the Mac communicates with using EAP over UDP and this transport is not available when using 802.1x alone or over a wireless link with 802.1x or L2IP. The only way of catering for all client types at once (Windows wired and wireless, Mac wired and wireless) is L3IP.
The NAC Appliance "will" support wireless Macs in a future release but (I believe) doesn't at the moment. -
Compatibility 802.1X and mac-filter from ACS
If the clients identities and mac address are stored in the same ACS server.
In WLC,could a wlan be configured layer2 security with both 802.1x and mac-filtering?
this is really a critical problem for me!
Thanks~Hi,
I am assuming you are asking if you configure a x mac of wlan client in MAC filer and the same as user naem in 802.1x ACS database as user name , could you configure it ? what is the effect?
If my understading of your queston is correct the answer is
Any wlan client will not be allowed to associate to the network unless a match is seen in mac filter in wlc.
But once that is done it will not able to access network resources unless 802.1x authentication is completed by ACS against the wlan clients user name which is again a mac address of client.
i dont see a value for doing this. except that you will block unnecessary authentication request getting to ACS by filtering it in the 1st instance.
another scenario is if you are using mac filtering also on ACS , it should be preceeded by mac filtering and then ACS authentication , as above as far as ssequence goes hence the same logic applies here.

IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3z Compatibility
Hello everyone!
Does anyone know if these 2 fiber optic SFPs are compatible with each other?
We have and old HP J4853A transceiver which is 802.3u and Cisco SFP LX Module which is 802.3z
Thank you!Hello
For your reference, when talking about fiber transceiver you want to check the following details:
- There exists two modes: Single mode, and multi-mode, you want to make sure both use the same mode.
- Wavelenght, there are 850nm, 950nm, 1310nm.... You need to make sure it matches.
- No all switches/routers support all types of modules, so check the following compatibility matrix to make sure hardware and tranceiver are compatible.

Using 802.1x and vpn on t-mobile hotspot
hi all,
how do i configure 802.1x and vpn to enhance security on t-mobile hotspot?
thanx for your help.Multi-Host is not the right option for you. In this Multi-Host only one device has to successfully authenticate to authenticate all device on that port.
You need to set host-mode to "multi-auth" -
So I don't think this is possible right now to connect to an 802.1x network from the iPhone. I am posting for 2 reasons.
1. Anybody figure out a way to do this?
or if not...
2. Apple, we really need this in a software update...802.1X [upper case X] is a network access mechanism or authentication protocol used with 802.11x [lower case x] wireless networking standards, such as…
• 802.11a
• 802.11b
• 802.11g
• 802.11n
…and so on. It has been natively supportive in Mac OS X for Macintosh desktop and portable platforms since the release of OS X 10.3, but is not visible typically unless you launch the Internet Connect application to add and configure it.
A general discussion of 802.1X can be found in this Wikipedia article.
The oft confused 802.11x is nothing more than a generic representation of the group of wireless networking standards listed above.
This really is a very substantial issue for many academic and business users, as access to their networks is typically controlled by an upstream Radius server and without support for configuring an 802.1X interface, they cannot connect their networks as recognized, authorized users. -
Hi,
I have applied 802.1x on Cat4500 and cat 3750 and i need to use Wake on LAn to load software on my Pc's.
I what i have to config?
ThanksHi!
Is Cisco working to implement this feature also in smaller IOS switches like 2950 etc.in the future?
We want to use 802.1X and WOL together in this devices.So far it seems to be not possible.
nice feature, i will hope the best.
thanks

Wireless 802.11r and .k on WLC
Hello all,
I've seen that in 7.4 and later Release on the WLC5508 you can configure 802.11r and 11k support using Fast Transaction so that iOS7 won't experience connection loss during Roaming...my question is on the same WLAN can I configure 802.1X and FT-802.1X Authentication so that I'll be able to have on the same SSID non802.11r and 802.11r capable client? Or this setup will create association problem ?
BR
OGMaybe this can help explain it also:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_0111.html#d155467e2632a1635
Legacy clients cannot associate with a WLAN that has 802.11r enabled if the driver of the supplicant that is responsible for parsing the Robust Security Network Information Exchange (RSN IE) is old and not aware of the additional AKM suites in the IE. Due to this limitation, clients cannot send association requests to WLANs. These clients, however, can still associate with non-802.11r WLANs. Clients that are 802.11r capable can associate as 802.11i clients on WLANs that have both 802.11i and 802.11r Authentication Key Management Suites enabled. The workaround is to enable or upgrade the driver of the legacy clients to work with the new 802.11r AKMs, after which the legacy clients can successfully associate with 802.11r enabled WLANs. Another workaround is to have two SSIDs with the same name but with different security settings (FT and non-FT).
