(RADIATOR) EAPOL authentication for LANs

[Frank Danielson]

The Cisco PIX firewall has the option to do RADIUS authentication before
allowing a TCP session to set up for a certain protocol. For example, if you
wanted to control who was able to Telnet into your network through the
firewall you could configure the PIX to check with your RADIUS server to see
if the source IP is allowed. With all of the flexibility of a RADIUS server
like Radiator you it doesn't take much to see why this is so much cooler
than maintaing access lists or manually defining conduits on the firewall.
The docs are on the Cisco site, I think if you search for PIX and RADIUS
you'll come up with it.

Subject: (RADIATOR) EAPOL authentication for LANs


Hello,

I was speaking recently to someone who told me that Radaitor works fine with

some type of router that requires EAPOL (EAP over LAN) authentication via 
Radius before it will let a client connected to the LAN route traffic.

Does anyone have information or details about what devices support this 
behaviour. Anyone used it in anger. Can it be used to monitor and control 
access to a LAN segment?

Responses direct to me please.

Cheers.
