802.1x Query

[jain.nitin]

Hi, I am implementing 802.1x in my network where I have some avaya switches & some cisco switches. My First question is that how can I implement it on avaya switches.Second how can I configure a cisco switch port on which another cisco switch is connected and its a trunk port.

Can any one explore 802.1x for my scenario. I am also planing to have NAC box. So how will it be integrated in this network.

You can not configure 802.1x on trunk port as 802.1x is not supported on these port types:

Trunk port

Dynamic-access ports

Dynamic ports

Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN)

Hope this helps.
