Nortel 5510 and EAPOL

[itenghm]

Hi all
I have configured EAPOL authentication through ERS 5510 and IAS and everything is fine.
The problem is when connecting more than one PC to non manageable switch which is connected to 5510
the port status is always unauthorized! and they can't access the LAN
Any idea?

Try changing out the unmanaged switch (possibly to a managed)

If you run v4.2 or higher EAP supports multiple host authentication, which allows multiple MAC's to authenticate on a port.

If running a lesser version then only the first MAC on a port will be allowed to authenticate.
