DOT1X-5-FAIL: Authentication failed for client

%MAB-5-FAIL: Authentication failed for client

 

I am getting this over and over for some of our ILO ports on a couple servers.   Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

Hi

It seems you're connected on a dot1x port.
This message means that your ILO network port isn't able to get authenticated on your radius server.

Can you share the switch port config on which your ILO port is connected to?
Also can you ensure that your ILO mac address is registered on your radius server to be sure next time it'll be authenticated correctly? Or you can disable dot1x on that specific port if you don't want this port being authenticated.

Thanks
Francesco
