802.1x and RDP Issues
Hello everyone,
We recently deployed 802.1x authentication on our campus network. However there's a peculiar issue we are facing when RDP'ing into a machine. Basically the behavior is, RDP session connects fine, but the session freezes and kicks the machine off the network. Then I can no longer ping it or remote into it.
We setup a restricted VLAN where if 802.1x fails, it fails over to the internet only VLAN (2350). I noticed from the switch logs after the RDP attempt, the switch puts the machine into this VLAN. See below for switch logs:
166670: Jan 30 15:53:41.614: %DOT1X-5-FAIL: Authentication failed for client (Un known MAC) on Interface Gi2/0/44 AuditSessionID C0A8110500020CBD2AF2EB70

Any ideas?
