User profile assignment

You can specify a user profile for an 802.1X user to control the user's access to network resources. After the user passes 802.1X authentication, the authentication server assigns the user profile to the user for filtering traffic. The authentication server can be the local access device or a RADIUS server. In either case, you must configure the user profile on the access device.

To change the user's access permissions, you can use one of the following methods:

• Modify the user profile configuration on the access device.

• Specify another user profile for the user on the authentication server.
