Port Authentication Commands

The switch supports IEEE 802.1x (dot1x) port-based access control that prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring users to first enter a user ID and password for authentication. Client authentication is controlled centrally by a RADIUS server using EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LAN).
