# HP Procurve

## Configuration

You can configure a RADIUS with following command:

```
SWITCH(config)# radius-server host 192.168.76.140 key PRESHAREDKEY
SWITCH(config)# aaa authentication port-access eap-radius
SWITCH(config)# aaa port-access authenticator active
SWITCH(config)# aaa port-access authenticator active
```

## Configuring the Ports

On Aruba you are not configuring dot1x in the ports. Instead, you define a list of ports, which should use dot1x. E.g. all ports from 3 to 8:

```
SWITCH(config)#aaa port-access mac-based 3-8
```

## Guest VLAN

```
SWITCH(config)#aaa port-access mac-based 3-8 unauth-vid 50
```

## Periodic Re-Authentication

Force a hourly re-authentication:

```
SWITCH(config)#aaa port-access mac-based 3-8 reauth-period 3600
```

3600 seconds = once a hour
