Description | This article describes how to resolve FortiSwitch communication with a RADIUS server in port-based 802.1x authentication. |
Scope | All versions. |
Solution |
Configure port-based 802.1x authentication as shown in the article: Setting up port-based 802.1x authentication in a FortiLink setup.
FortiLink is using the default IP network on the interface i.e 169.254.1.1/24.
As the default IP address network belongs to APIPA it would not be able to communicate to any other network, so to address this use an IP network other than APIPA. |
The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
