Feature Request: 802.1X over ethernet

RouterOS General
1

This would be a great feature to have. Please implement as this is a part of the standard linux kernel these days.

Thank you.

2

this would probably enable the adoption in the enterprise segment

3

I thought this was already available but now I see that it isn’t, so “me too”. Please support wired 802.1x.

4

Please, please, we need it, have to use different vendor if i can not do 802.1x

5

Wait, i did not realized this until today. There is a radius server package (userman) available but no wired 802.1x for ethernet ports? I was optimistic to realize this complete inside a hex-s for the whole network with userman and no external components.

6

When to expect 802.1x support in RouterOS and SwOS?
In a year, two or never?

+1.

I asked for it on MUM.

Agree. 802.1x is mandatory in larger enterprise switch environments. Regulatory requirements subject more and more companies to adherence of IT security standards such as ISO 27002. These standards all recommend network access control. Without it, the product cannot be used in such environments. Since this is usually a trickle down process (first large corporations, then medium sized, then small ones), it will become relevant for MikroTik even if its target market is rather SMBs.

MAC authentication, 802.1x (EAP-TLS and PEAP) are very importend in a lot of companies. Not only for security reasons. Especially for an automatic port configuration with vlans.

Hi, my company is also in urgent need of this feature. If not availaible in the near future we might switch vendor for switches and will replace the existing mikrotik devices.

+1 for RFC5216 support

Like sh2222 said, MAC authentication, 802.1x (EAP-TLS and PEAP) are very importend in a lot of companies. Not only for security reasons. Especially for an automatic port configuration with vlans

+1. Strong need in wired 802.1X

I am very interested too

MAJOR CHANGES IN v6.45:

!) dot1x - added support for IEEE 802.1X Port-Based Network Access Control (CLI only);

And before anyone (like myself) wastes time searching where it is:

19

Shall we hope for Radius assigned VLAN with this promising feature ?

20

Basic server side support added in 6.45beta34 (CLI only).

/interface dot1x server

Client side support will be available in the next testing release.

Any feedback or feature requests are much appreciated.
