Hi all,
I need help with configuring my Dell N2048 access switch. All ports configured have 802.1x and failover to MAB configured.
In ClearPass I have successfully setup two wired services, one for 802.1x and one for MAC-Authentication Bypass. This works as intended, but the MAC-based clients will authenticate after +/- 110 seconds after connecting the cable. I would like to reduce the time that it takes for the switch to failover from 802.1x to MAB. Using this, devices like VoIP phones do not have to wait +/- 2 minutes before getting access to the network.
My question: What configuration do I need to tweak to achieve this?
This is my current access switch port-configuration:
!
interface Gi1/0/1
description "Dot1x & MAB"
spanning-tree portfast
switchport mode general
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication event fail action authorize vlan <UNAUTHED-VLAN>
authentication event no-response action authorize vlan <UNAUTHED-VLAN>
authentication event server dead action authorize vlan <UNAUTHED-VLAN>
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication periodic
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
dot1x max-reauth-req 10
dot1x max-req 3
mab
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
exit
!
Thanks in advance!
