RADIUS Simulator

RADIUS Simulator is run in organizations that do not have an IEEE 802.1X environment.

RADIUS Simulator provides 802.1X authentication and allows for the population of basic attributes such as IP, MAC, and identity group information into the Session Directory. Session attributes such as the Endpoint Profile, Posture status can only be obtained using a real client machine with 802.1X.

Note: The native supplicant or AnyConnect NAM should not be present on the PC when using RADIUS Simulator. In addition, RADIUS Simulator has command-line arguments that are defined in RADIUS Simulator PARAMETERS list.

This RADIUS simulator acts as an endpoint supplicant and a switch simulating an IEEE 802.1X environment. Please use RADIUS Simulator if you do not have a working IEEE 802.1X environment. This works with pxGrid 2.0

The command-line arguments:

  • -DUSERNAME
  • -DPASSWORD
  • -DCALLING_STATION_ID
  • -DAUDIT_SESSION_ID
  • -DACCT_SESSION_ID
  • -DFRAMED_IP_ADDRESS
  • -DFRAMED_IP_MASK
  • RadiusAccountingStart
  • RadiusAccountingStop
  • RadiusAuthentication
    will be used for multiple end user authentication testing.

Note: RADIUS Simulator commands are case-sensitive.

If you are not using users in Microsoft AD, you can use ISE internal users for testing.

RADIUS Simulator requires the Java Development Kit. The RADIUS Simulator may be run on the pxGrid client or on the client PC (prefer a windows machine for quick setup).
