| Description |
|---|
| Controlling LAN access via 802.1x authentication or MAC authentication can assist in preventing a malicious user from connecting an unauthorized PC to a switch port to inject or receive data from the network without detection. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify all access switch ports connecting to LAN outlets are configured for 802.1x or MAC authentication as shown in these configuration examples. 802.1x example: interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/4 port link-mode bridge port access vlan 200 dot1x MAC authentication example: interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/5 port link-mode bridge port access vlan 200 mac-authentication If all access switch ports connecting to LAN outlets are not configured for 802.1x or MAC authentication, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure 802.1 x authentications on all host-facing access switch ports. To authenticate those devices that do not support 802.1x, MAC Authentication Bypass must be configured.
