Test 802.1x Authentication Deny

Description

DUT0 is configured with an 802.1x authenticated interface. DUT1 is authenticated successfully but, when its configuration changes, it fails to authenticate and all its traffic is dropped.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator aaa authentication list1
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator reauth-period 0
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 192.168.100.1/24
set system aaa group radius radgroup1 server serv1
set system aaa list list1 method 1 group radius radgroup1
set system aaa server radius serv1 address 10.215.168.1
set system aaa server radius serv1 encrypted-key U2FsdGVkX18BH5VlSyOmHQpiSekzA2i4F/MhoXpOXQZFfvZMByFb9mnHXvvn/miI2MXZZ3hWpGjsOeH7xx3hkA==
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Ping IP address 10.215.168.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.215.168.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.215.168.1 (10.215.168.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.215.168.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.181 ms

--- 10.215.168.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.181/0.181/0.181/0.000 ms

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant encrypted-password U2FsdGVkX1/Sk6Zht7FbnGWtcpVyidyB241XH8usPVk=
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant username testing
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 192.168.100.2/24
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Note

Initial authentication should be successful.

Step 4: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant show status at DUT1 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Authorized
Show output
---------------------------------------------------
        Field                      Value
---------------------------------------------------
EAP State                                   SUCCESS
EAP TLS Cipher          ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
EAP TLS Version                             TLSv1.2
PAE State                             AUTHENTICATED
Supplicant Port Status                   Authorized
WPA State                                 COMPLETED

Step 5: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant show stats at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Port Status\s+Authorized
Show output
-------------------------------
       Field           Value

Req ID Frames (Rx)            1
Resp Frames (Tx)             10
Start Frames (Tx)             1

Step 6: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator show stats at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Authentication Successes\s+1
Show output
---------------------------------
         Field             Value
---------------------------------

Session Time                    0
Session User Name         testing

Step 7: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 192.168.100.1 (192.168.100.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.100.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.275 ms

--- 192.168.100.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.275/0.275/0.275/0.000 ms

Note

Change DUT1 configuration using wrong credentials. Ping command should fail.

Step 8: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant encrypted-password U2FsdGVkX1/Sk6Zht7FbnGUmkuvMDUovApTK76O8w/0=
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant username bad_username

Step 9: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator show stats at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Authentication Successes\s+1
Authentication Failures\s+[1-9]\d?
Show output
--------------------------------------
         Field               Value

Session Time                         4
Session User Name         bad_username

Step 10: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant show stats at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Port Status\s+Unauthorized
Start Frames \(Tx\)\s+[1-9]\d?
Show output
---------------------------------
       Field            Value
---------------------------------
EAPoL Frames (Rx)              10
EAPoL Frames (Tx)              10
Invalid Frames (Rx)             0
Logoff Frames (Tx)              0
Port Status          Unauthorized
Req Frames (Rx)                 8
Req ID Frames (Rx)              1
Resp Frames (Tx)                9
Start Frames (Tx)               1

Step 11: Expect a failure in the following command: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
