EAPoL configuration from the Web UI/CLI in the Network Management Card (NMC) 4.
Product:
Galaxy VL – Built-in Network Management Card 4 and AP9644.
Environment:
NMC firmware - Galaxy VL 10.11.0
Solution:
The Network Management Card (NMC) 4 EAPoL configuration differs from the NMC 2 and NMC 3 so you may need to check the below points before configuring EAPoL on the NMC 4.
- The CA certificate and the user certificate must have a file extension of “.crt” in PEM or DER format.
- In the Web UI, the certificate validation occurs after entering the passphrase, loading the CA certificate (ca.crt), private key (user.key), and user certificate (user.crt).
- EAPoL can be forced to re-authenticate by using the ‘eapol -r’ Command Line Interface (CLI) command.
- An empty passphrase is set via the CLI using ‘eapol -p “” ‘
- To support a private key (user.key) that isn’t password-protected, enter an empty passphrase.
