GS748T no radius authentication
Hi
I have a Windows Server 2012 configured with NPS and is working fine with WiFi access points.
I'm trying to configure my GS748T to authenticate EAP with the server. What I've done so ...

** Solved **
One thing I overlooked. Windows 7 and onwards have a service ' Wired AutoConfig' which is set to manual as default.
Set this to automatic and it works perfectly!

Hi, I have same problem..no way to run Radius authentication on ports. My Radius server is on Windows server 2008 R2. No information in log on Radius server. I think, that I try everything.. Only thing that works is, when I set Radius on Authentication list. Than I see that switch is trying to authenticate "admin" user on Radius server when I try to login to admin on switch. So in this case it works(but is bad, because of admin name)..but no way to run port authentication. Is there someone with smart switch - newest fw(24) - run port authentication and its ok? Maybe its fw problem..It makes me crazy :-/

Hi Dane
Thanks for the reply.
I followed the link and sub-links on the articles and I've tried all the settings which were listed, with no sucsess.
The only time the switch contacts the Radius server is for authentication of the managment console. At no point does it try to contact the server for 802.1x authentication.
I've run a network monitor on the radius server and the only packets received from the switch are those from the console authentication.
I've checked the logs on the switch and there's nothing in there.
Very frustrating

It seems, that problem is, that Smart switches use only PAP and MD5..and it doesnt work any more with Windows. Is this good answer?
