802.1x and Wake on Lan

[Valentijn]

Has somebody a working solution for the following problem.

Our administrator uses Ghost with Wake on Lan for software deployment.

We use dynamic vlan assignment with machine authentication, so when a workstation has been powered off....it's placed in the 'default' vlan.

The network is a shared infrastructure with two other Media Companies.

So changes to the 'default' vlan are not allowed.

There is no RVI for which I can configure IP directed broadcast and only EAPOL traffic is allowed through the switchport when in pre 802.1 authenticated state.

best regards,

I do not have a solution right now.

It is a very interesting question tho.

I am sure someone must have had this challenge before.

Hi,

actually we support this feature:

When the switch uses IEEE 802.1x authentication with WoL, the switch forwards traffic to unauthorized
IEEE 802.1x ports, including magic packets.

Which software version are you using?

If this worked for you please flag my post as an "Accepted Solution" so others can benefit. A kudo would be cool if you think I earned it.

Kind Regards

Hi Michael,

We are using Junos 9.6R2 on our EX4200's (virtual chassis config)

Would that include support for magic packets in the default vlan with no RVI?

So the only thing needed is that the Symantec ghost server has an interface in the default vlan?

kind regards,

Valentijn

Hi Michael,

Can you tell me where I can find this in the Junos documentation or other article/app note?
