Catalyst 3850, MAB and RADIUS

Hello,

This a Catalyst 3850 pilot so to speak (C3750's MAB Auth working like a charm) and the strange thing is that I cannot see the RAIUS client on the switch sending packets anywhere:

Any ideas?

Just look at this:

 

(config)#radius-server ?
  accounting          Accounting information configuration
  attribute           Customize selected radius attributes
  authorization       Authorization processing information
  backoff             Retry backoff pattern(Default is retransmits with constant delay)
  cache               AAA auth cache default server group
  challenge-noecho    Data echoing to screen is disabled during Access-Challenge
  configure-nas       Attempt to upload static routes and IP pools at startup
  dead-criteria       Set the criteria used to decide when a radius server is marked dead
  deadtime            Time to stop using a server that doesn't respond
  directed-request    Allow user to specify radius server to use with `@server'
  domain-stripping    Strip the domain from the username
  load-balance        Radius load-balancing options.
  optional-passwords  The first RADIUS request can be made without requesting a password
  retransmit          Specify the number of retries to active server
  retry               Specify how the next packet is sent after timeout.
  source-ports        source ports used for sending out RADIUS requests
  throttle            Throttle requests to radius server
  timeout             Time to wait for a RADIUS server to reply
  transaction         Specify per-transaction parameters
  unique-ident        Higher order bits of Acct-Session-Id
  vsa                 Vendor specific attribute configuration

There's no host statement as you can see but full entry above presents in the configuraion

#show radius server-group

Server group XXX-XXXXX
    Sharecount = 1  sg_unconfigured = FALSE
    Type = standard  Memlocks = 1
    Server(10.XX.XX.30:1645,1646) Transactions:
    Authen: 0   Author: 0       Acct: 0
    Server_auto_test_enabled: FALSE
     Keywrap enabled: FALSE
    Server(10.XXX.XX.30:1645,1646) Transactions:
    Authen: 0   Author: 0       Acct: 0
    Server_auto_test_enabled: FALSE
     Keywrap enabled: FALSE

Your missing "aaa authentication dot1x"

Exactly! That entry simply didnt migrate somehow from C3750 configuration. Many thanks.
