6.24 LLDP Configuration

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined in the IEEE 802.1AB, it is an emerging standard which provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by expanding LANs. LLDP specifically defines a standard method for Ethernet network devices such as switches, routers and wireless LAN access points to advertise information about themselves to other nodes on the network and store the information they discover. LLDP runs on all 802 media.The protocol runs over the data-link layer only, allowing two systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.

•LLDP Protocol: Pull down the selection menu to disable or enable LLDP function.

•LLDP Interval: Set the interval of advertising the switch’s information to other nodes.

6.25 Security—802.1X/Radius Configuration

802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification which prevents the client from accessing a wireless access point or wired switch until it provides authority, like the user name and password that are verified by an authentication server (such as RADIUS server).

6.25.1 System Configuration

After enabling the IEEE 802.1X function, you can configure the parameters of this function.

•IEEE 802.1x Protocol: Enable or disable 802.1x protocol.

•Radius Server IP:Assign the RADIUS Server IP address.

•Server Port: Set the UDP destination port for authentication requests to the specified

RADIUS Server.

•Accounting Port: Set the UDP destination port for accounting requests to the specified

RADIUS Server.

•Shared Key: Set an encryption key for using during authentication sessions with the specified RADIUS server.This key must match the encryption key used on the RADIUS

Server.

•NAS, Identifier: Set the identifier for the RADIUS client.
