Aug 16, 2019 at 9:50 comment added Zac67 @JohnSayce This is not how 802.1X is intended to work. Only because it works in one place doesn't make it work in another place...
Aug 16, 2019 at 7:27 comment added John Sayce Sure, but as I've said it works how I want with the aruba 2530-48-poe+ switch, so clearly what I want is possible.
Aug 15, 2019 at 11:52 comment added Zac67 That is your problem: When you plug clients into the 2530-8 and that into the Brocade, you don't authenticate the clients on the Brocade but on the 2530-8.
Aug 15, 2019 at 9:32 comment added John Sayce Okay, I have tried to better explain what I'm trying to do with an edit to my original post. I have marked this EDIT. Thanks
Aug 13, 2019 at 14:23 comment added Zac67 Then your question is unclear. What is your goal? What doesn't work?
Aug 13, 2019 at 14:21 comment added John Sayce No, you're mistaken but that's not the question I'm asking. Aruba/HP switches can be configured as the supplicant as per the link and most wired interfaces on wireless access points support 802.1x. h22208.www2.hpe.com/eginfolib/networking/docs/switches/WB/15-18/… I'm looking for help configuring the authenticator anyhow.
Aug 13, 2019 at 11:54 comment added Zac67 @JohnSayce I haven't seen any switches yet that can authenticate themselves using 802.1X (doesn't make sense either as per IEEE), so that's "for all switches".
Aug 13, 2019 at 8:06 comment added John Sayce When you say "it won't work that way," do you mean for these switches or all switches?
Aug 9, 2019 at 15:32 comment added Zac67 I'm afraid there's no other answer than "it won't work that way"...
Aug 9, 2019 at 14:45 comment added John Sayce I appreciate the limitations of 802.1x but that doesn't answer my question. I'm implementing 802.1x on the edge and the Axis P7216 is a single device. However as I have stated it uses four hardware addresses. It doesn't support 802.1AE and neither do my switches. I can (barely) secure my cabinets but that doesn't secure the other end of the cable that's plugged in to my switch.
