Need help with C1300 switch

[Jagan1976]

Hi guys,

I was sold a C1300-8T-E-2G as a next replacement for C1000.

However, to my horror, it is not running the normal IOS. Some commands are similar but the rest is a challenge to get it done.  
Anyone had worked with this model before and able to help with AAA config for TACACS+ with ISE, and SSH vty access?

Any help is appreciated. Read the manual but looks like not that friendly.

Why the did they need to change it like this?

The only thing missing from my configuration was ip ssh server which once applied worked a treat. Another issue when trying to log onto the 1300 from and Nexus 9300 was that it was trying to authenticate using an unsupported HMAC. Resolution was to logon from the Nexus using ssh -l username -m hmac-sha2-256 ipaddress forcing the Nexus to use the supported algorithm which allowed me to log on. Thanks for the heads up on the config.

Hi. I have issues to understand (yes, manuals reader many times) what are the port based 8021x, with dot1x and Mac, settings required on Global and Port levels.
I've configured both Global and Port level settings but not succeeded
Also I have a laptop and C1000 switch where bot dot1x aann Mac authentication variations work well.
Cause 1300 has so different command hierarchy I'm in stuck.
c1300 is updated to lates firmware/software lasti week.

Thanks

Only thing good about this switch is that it is cheap and does not require a DNA license, and everything else is crappy. It is not running IOS. Will not buy this model again.
