Topic: 802.1x authentication for wired clients

hi there,

i'm running whiterussian on my wrt54gs and i recently set up EAP-PEAP authentication for my wireless clients => works fine and really stable.

does 802.1x authentication also work over the integrated switchports for my wired clients? is it possible to use the nas-tool to configure 802.1x on the switchports like it's used for the wireless interface?

if yes, how can i accomplish this? if no how can i alternatively set up 802.1x auth for wired clients??

Hi,

maybe my question was a little bit too theoretical. 2nd trial wink :

can i use nas to set up the switchports like i can use it to configure the wireless interface?

Sample-Config for a wireless interface (taken from the OpenWrt Documentation)
nas -P /tmp/nas.lan.pid -l br0 -H 34954 -i eth1 -A -m 2 -r <share-key> -s linksys -w 2 -g 3600 -h <Radius server ip> -p 1812 -t 36000

Considerable Config for enabling 802.1x on the switchports
nas -P /tmp/nas.lan.pid -i br0 -H 34953 -l eth0 -r <RADIUS_SECRET> -h <RADIUS_SERVER> -p 1812 <= RADIUS_AUTH_PORT>

could that work ?- i'm a little bit afraid of trying it myself because i don't want to brick my wrt54gs

sincerely
