Dynamic Vlan Assignment Microsoft Nps Pattern

Hi, I have several questions about implementing dynamic VLAN assignment based on 802.1x authentication on 3com switches - I hope it is the right place to ask. I'd be very glad to recieve any kind of help, believe me I've already tried to read any relevant material but I still can't understand few very basic things. My goal is to create several VLANS (for example: Servers, Laptops, Devices), and when a user logs in with his domain credentials - he will be put in the right VLAN (lets say in Laptops VLAN). I don't want to assign statically those ports, because they often move from one office to another. I know this could be achieved by using the NPS server, which will authenticate those users.

Tested for interoperability with Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft IAS/ NPS. Extended VLANs (centralized forwarding at the WLAN controller). L2TPV3 tunneling. Dynamic VLAN assignment. After users log in with their credentials, automatically places users on the appropriate VLAN. DNS server forwarding.

As for devices - they will be assigned by their MAC address (or in any other way which you can recommend, this is the only way I know). Bottom line is that I need to enable communication for any device that is connected to the switch, which is not depended in the port that it is plugged to. Should the VLANS be configured as MAC-based or port-based?? Should I assign all ports on the switch to all VLANs I've created? How does it work?

Supplicant: Windows / Windows Phone / iOS / Android / etc. Authenticator: Switch / Wireless Access Point Authentication Server: Microsoft NPS (Network Policy Server) In fact, the supplicants communicate with 802.1x to and from the authenticator. The authenticator communicates with RADIUS to and from the authentication server. Simply said the supplicants authenticate against the authentication server, whereas your authenticato is in between. But this offers you more than only network authentication. In NPS you can configure so called Connection request Policies and Network Policies.

This policy allow you to instruct your authenticator (e.g. Your 3Com switch) you dynamicly asign the supplicant to a certain VLAN. There are different options to configure this. I know 802.1x enough, but not enough to tell you all options. One thing to keep in mind is this. Not all switches support the dynamic VLAN assignment.

For example; I now have a Cisco Small Business Wireless Access Point that allows 802.1x authentication, but apparently does not support dynamic VLAN assignment on it. So that is really a thing have a look at it. I hope this information is usefull to you. Boudewijn Plomp, BPMi Infrastructure & Security. Thanks a lot for your reply. I do understand the basic concept of the solution infrastructure and how to implement it in general, I think that the most confusing part for me is the switch configuration.

Actually, I'm really not sure if it supports dynamic VLAN assignment or not. Do you have any advice on how can I verify this? I read the manual (3Com 2928) and I saw that I have the option to configure 802.1x ports as MAC-based or Port-based. Should I also have a dynamic option? Where is this configured? Maybe you know a better place to ask in?

Thanks again, Lena.

I have the following scenario. If I need to have Server2, Server3, and Server 4 access Server1 without seeing each other, what is the best way to do this using VRF? 6509 is currently the layer 3 gateway. There are also other workstations that connects to each of the switches like 3508/4507/3560 that should be separate from the network. My questions are 1. On which switch is VRF actually needed? How should each of the access switch be configured?

Do they all need VRF as well? Does that mean they would need routed layer 3 interface? Is Multi-VRF same as VRF-Lite? I have the following switches, how do I know if they support VRF? Don't need MPLS. Do I simply look for VRF-Lite?
