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 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?
In Port Authentication - Advanced it states EAP Protocol version 1, which I belive to be EAP-TTLS1.
I understand you can encapsulate PAP in EAP-TTLS1, which is what I've done dor our laptops 801.3 network policy.
But what i'm really confused with is that the switch doesn't send any data to the Radius server unless it's to authenticate the console logon.
I came across this article;
https://kb.netgear.com/188/What-is-802-1x-security-authentication
This confirms that the switch should pass the authentication. But it's not!
