Configuring the Access Point

Configuring Ethernet Ports

General Port

The General Port can be configured to support multiple tagged VLANs and one

untagged VLAN. As Trunk Ports by definition are members of all VLANs, the General

Port is the only port type for which membership is user configurable.

Working with 802.1X on Wired Ethernet Ports

802.1X authentication consists of the following three components:

■ Supplicant: The supplicant sends access request messages along with credentials,

such as user name / password or digital certificate, to an authenticator, which

forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification.

■ Authenticator: The authenticator challenges the identity of the supplicant, then

passes its credentials to the AAA server. If the credentials are accepted the

supplicant is allowed access.

■ Authentication Server (AAA Server): The AAA server verifies the supplicant’s

credentials and permits or rejects its request for access.

For wired 802.1X, a Ruckus AP’s Ethernet port can be configured as either an

Authenticator or as a Supplicant, depending on which port type is selected. Ta b le 23

and Table 24

describe the 802.1X roles available by port type.

Table 23. Authenticator support by port type

Table 24. Supplicant support by port type

The following considerations apply:

■ A single port can not be configured as both an Authenticator and Supplicant at

the same time.

■ Only one port per AP can be configured as a Supplicant.

■ If the AP is connecting to a switch port with 802.1X authentication enabled, the

AP’s port type should be configured as a Trunk Port and its role should be

configured as Supplicant. The switch port should be configured as a Trunk port in

Port-based Authenticator mode.
