hello all,

studying 802.1x based authentication, and i checked the commands required for this 802.1x on gns3.. these commands are supported there but i would like to ask that how on gns3 can we use a radius server...

routers there accepts the command radius-server host <ip adress > key <anykey>

but how can i use a radius server here ?

thank you

    You could run the radius server on your PC and then have gns3 communicate to it through a loopback interface. Instructions here:

    Add the loopback, assign it an IP address that is on the same network as the router that you want it to talk with and then add the loopback's network device ID to the router ethernet port in the net file and ping to verify connectivity. Using ACS, which is a free download from Cisco as a trial (go get it, it's great and worth learning) go to Network Configuration and then create an AAA Server and set the IP address to the IP address that you put on the Loopback. Add the server in the AAA configuration and viola. HTH
