The following sections describe the Telnet authentication client, Web browser authentication client, and
Alcatel-Lucent’s proprietary AV-Client. For information about removing a particular client from an
authenticated network, see

Telnet Authentication Client
Telnet clients authenticate through a Telnet session.
• Make sure a Telnet client is available on the client station. No specialized authentication client soft-
ware is required on Telnet client workstations.
• Provide an IP address for the client. Telnet clients require an address prior to authentication. The
address may be statically assigned if the authentication network is set up in single authority mode with
one authenticated VLAN. The address may be assigned dynamically if a DHCP server is located in the
network. DHCP is required in networks with multiple authenticated VLANs.
one authenticated VLAN. The address may be assigned dynamically if a DHCP server is located in the
network. DHCP is required in networks with multiple authenticated VLANs.
• Configure a DHCP server. Telnet clients may get IP addresses via a DHCP server prior to authenti-
cating or after authentication in order to move into a different VLAN. When multiple authenticated
VLANs are configured, after the client authenticates the client must issue a DHCP release/renew
request in order to be moved into the correct VLAN. Typically Telnet clients cannot automatically do a
release/renew and must be manually configured. For information about configuring the DHCP server,
