Thanks Chuck will look into that! -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Church [mailto:chuckchu...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 7 February 2012 9:27 PM To: 'Aaron Riemer'; cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: RE: [c-nsp] 802.1x - clients that go to sleep
Can you disable WOL on the clients? Seems like if it was disabled in the BIOS, the NIC would have no reason to bring up a link when off/sleeping/hibernating.

We have some clients that are hibernating and as a result the switch is filling the logs with failed 802.1x authorization attempts. The switch looks to be trying to authenticate the supplicant but the supplicant is not responding due to the hibernation status. Is there any way around this other than configuring a hardware supplicant that is not reliant on the client OS? Doing some reading around I haven't much info other than the allowing of magic packets out the switch port for the purpose of WOL. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
