Hi, I am thinking about buying Mikrotik RB, but I am still not sure, whether it will help me with my problem:
I need RB to authenticate itself to radius server - to route from encrypted WAN to LAN without encryption. I know RouterOS can work in relay mode, but it’s not my case - I need Mtik to serve like wpa-supplicant for wired network & router together. Can someone tell me, if it’s possible with RouterOS?
Thanks in advance!
authenticate via what? RADIUS is not a method of connection, it’s a database. please clarify your scenario in more detail, maybe include a network diagram?
In our network we have 802.1x on all edge switches to control what is connected to the network edge. But this way it’s not possible to connect some old devices (for example printers).
I am looking for NAT router that would be capable of performing an 802.1x auth on uplink port. I understand many NAT
routers can be configured to support 802.1x authentication for associated clients, but this is not what I am looking for. I need the NAT router to have an 802.1x supplicant, preferably capable of EAP-PEAP. Is it possible to configure RouterOS this way? Thx.
