Troubleshooting 

As an integrated solution, an Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) solution can improve the overall 

defense power of a network. In real applications, however, deploying EAD clients proves to be time 

consuming and inconvenient.  

To address the issue, the Switch 5500-EI provides the forcible deployment of EAD clients with 802.1x 

authentication, easing the work of EAD client deployment. 

Quick EAD deployment is achieved with the two functions: restricted access and HTTP redirection.  

Before passing 802.1x authentication, a user is restricted (through ACLs) to a specific range of IP 

addresses or a specific server. Services like EAD client upgrading/download and dynamic address 

assignment are available on the specific server. 

In the HTTP redirection approach, when the terminal users that have not passed 802.1x authentication 

access the Internet through Internet Explorer, they are redirected to a predefined URL for EAD client 

download. 

The two functions ensure that all the users without an EAD client have downloaded and installed one 

from the specified server themselves before they can access the Internet, thus decreasing the 

complexity and effort that EAD client deployment may involve. 

 

  Note: 

The quick EAD deployment feature takes effect only when the authorization mode of an 802.1x-enabled 

port is set to auto.
