How do I configure 802.1x on Windows Server?

Hello,

Please coukld someone direct me to a nice basic website where I can find instructions on how to create a test environment for IEEE 802.1x?

I found this nice little white paper from Microsoft but it assumes you have some knowlege and an understanding of the various components that have to be installed.

Depends on your switch, but the rules are the same, configure your switch to use 802.1x and enable the ports with 802.1x. On the clientside 802.1x should be seemless, but it can be configured to use preshared certificates.
So what switch do you have, do you have a radius server and a AD server?

Hello Rich,

At the moment I have a Cisco switch, an MSDN licence and a server which I can install anything onto.  Apart from that, I don't know what else to do.  Sorry if I sound a bit thick.

Best regards,
James
Which model of switch, some older models and some older Cat-OS software aren't capable.
