  • 1.  Aruba CX 6300 swicth Radius bypass

    Posted Jul 15, 2024 09:03 AM

    Hi All,

    I am configuring Aruba 6300cx switch for dot1x and mab authentication.

    I wanted to know the command to bypass or force authorize the endpoint connected to the port in case of any issue.

    Also would like to know how I can manage the authentication if the Radius servers are not reachable or dead.

    eg in cisco :   authentication event server dead action reinitialize vlan 500
                           authentication event server dead action authorize voice
                           authentication event server alive action reinitialize 

    Thanks in advance !

    I think this video provides a good overview on the authorization of ports in case of radius servers unreachable.

    look for the more recent version like 10.12, and 10.13 as there are more enhancements. but quickly the commands are

    (config)# aaa authentication port-access cached-critical-role
    (config-aaa-ccr)# ?
      cache-replace-mode  Set the cache replace mode
      cache-timeout       Time in hours, during which clients are cached.
      disable             Disables Cached Critical Role. (Default)
      enable              Enables Cached Critical Role.
      end                 End current mode and change to enable mode.
      exit                Exit current mode and change to previous mode
      list                Print command list
      no                  Negate a command or set its defaults
      persistent-storage  Configure persistent storage for cached clients.
      show                Show running system information

    # show port-access cached-critical-role info
    Port Access Cached-Critical-Role
    ================================
      Cached-Critical-Role Status         : Disabled
      Cache-Timeout                       : 96 Hours
      Cache Replace Mode                  : None
      Cached-Critical-Role Disabled Ports :
      Persistent Storage Status           : Enabled
      Persistent Storage Write Interval   : 3600 Seconds
      Last Write To Persistent Storage    : N/A
