Verify the switch configuration has 802.1x authentication implemented for all access interfaces connecting to LAN outlets (i.e., RJ-45 wall plates) or devices not located in the telecom room, wiring closets, or equipment rooms. Static MAC Bypass or MAC RADIUS must be configured on access interfaces connected to devices that do not support an 802.1x supplicant. Junos supports three supplicant types: single-secure (authenticate and permit only a single device), multiple (separately authenticate and permit multiple devices), and single (authenticate the first supplicant and permit all others). Verify the available RADIUS server(s) are configured. RADIUS servers can be configured globally at [edit access radius-server] or defined for each group. user@host> show configuration access radius-server { <RADIUS IPv4 or IPv6 address> secret "PSK"; ## SECRET-DATA } profile dot1x_radius { authentication-order radius; radius { authentication-server <RADIUS IPv4 or IPv6 address>; <<< Must be defined if using global RADIUS server. Optional if RADIUS is defined specifically for the profile. } radius-server { <RADIUS IPv4 or IPv6 address> secret "PSK"; ## SECRET-DATA <<< Must be defined if not using global RADIUS server. Takes precedence if both profile and global RADIUS is configured. } } Verify 802.1x or MAC RADIUS is configured on all host-facing access interfaces when RADIUS is available as shown in the following example. The default authentication order is dot1x, mac-radius, and captive-portal. This order is applied to all interfaces without the authentication order directive configured (int-01 shown below). For interfaces with connected devices that do not support 802.1x (int-02 below), it may be necessary to change the authentication order because the device authentication attempt may timeout before the switch fails over from dot1x to mac-radius. When restricting to mac-radius authentication only (int-03 below), the authentication order cannot be set. user@host> show configuration protocols dot1x authenticator { authentication-profile-name dot1x_radius; interface { <int-01 name> { <<< Connected device with 802.1x supplicant supplicant single-secure; } <int-02 name> { <<< Connected device with 802.1x supplicant and interface support for MAC RADIUS, MAC RADIUS authentication preferred authentication-order [ mac-radius dot1x captive-portal ]; supplicant multiple; mac-radius; } <int-03 name> { <<< Connected device without 802.1x supplicant mac-radius { restrict; } } } } Note: The interface names, supplicant type, MAC RADIUS support, and authentication order must be appropriate for the target environment. If RADIUS is unavailable or not configured: user@host> show configuration protocols dot1x authenticator { static { <MAC address>/48 { vlan-assignment <vlan name>; interface <interface name>.<logical unit>; } } } If 802.1x authentication, Static MAC Bypass, or MAC RADIUS is not configured on all access interfaces connecting to LAN outlets or devices not located in the telecom room, wiring closets, or equipment rooms, this is a finding.
