Setting up Port Authentication w/ RADIUS on a S3300, seeing timeout erros
On the same network that I am attempting to get 802.1x working I have it working threw a GS752TP-poe and a Unifi AP to a Win VM running RADIUS. With the S3300 conneced to a computer on a secured ...
Daniel_Z,
So, I broke down and bought a S3300 just for testing this issue. First thing I did was upgrade the firmware from the Netgear site as I always do on new out of the box products. Set the switch up to work on the same network and implemented 802.1x w/ RADUIS and what do you know it works. But what! Why? After comparing the production S3300's to the sandbox S3300 I found the firmware versions are not the same.
Throughout this thread I had been using v6.6.1.4 which I has stated in a previous thread and I'm not sure when but your team has since than released v6.6.1.7. I have confirmed If I down grade and rebuild 802.1x w/ RADIUS on firmware v6.6.1.4 that 802.1x port authentication breaks. Still no mention of 802.1x w/ RADIUS port authentication being fixed in v6.6.1.7. Maybe this should be added to the release notes for v.6.6.1.4 and v6.6.1.7 as it would be nice to know there was an issue and has been fixed.

Hi Gear-Head,
Welcome to Netgear Community.
To configure port authentication with RADIUS, there have two part configurations:
- Global configuration, following the steps on Page 217 of Admin Guide
- RADIUS server configuration, following the steps on Page 218 of Admin Guide
Let's know if you still see the error.
Thnak you Bruce_G.
I went ahead and reran threw the guide and everything is set correctly or seems to be. I'm still seeing the timeouts.
Server Configuration page shows -
| Server Address | Round Trip Time | Access Requests | Access Retransmissions | Access Accepts | Access Rejects | Access Challenges | Malformed Access Responses | Bad Authenticators | Pending Requests | Timeouts | Unknown Types | Packets Dropped |
| 192.168.10.2 | 0.00 | 222 | 563 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 785 | 0 | 0 |
