GS108T port authentication with 802.1x problem
Recently I bought a couple of GS108T switches that I'm supposed to use together with 802.1x authentication. I set up a PKI structure that worked good and used NPS (network policy server) on Win 2k8...

What settings did you use on all three for making this work?
For now, I would settle for EAP-MD5.

You have to unlock EAP-MD5 in 2008 Server and then choose it in Network Policy Server as authentication option.

I think they have removed it in Server 2008 R2 though.

Thanks for the replies.
It's only the FSMxxxx switches that support EAP certificates? (where the "M" in FSM stands for managed)
There are NO information about this in the specification pages or any of the manuals for both the GS108T and the FS728TS switches. How am I able to figure this out before purchasing? The specs says "IEEE 802.1x".
Now I have 7 GS108T and 2 FS728TS, that I'm not sure that I can use together with Server 2008 Network Policy Server... Can I?
Big problem right now...
