4 Command Line Interface

Network Access

The Network Access feature controls host access to the network by authenticating its MAC address on the connected switch port. Traffic received from a specific MAC address is forwarded by the switch only if the source MAC address is successfully authenticated by a central RADIUS server. While authentication for a MAC address is in progress, all traffic is blocked until authentication is completed. On successful authentication, the RADIUS server may optionally assign VLAN settings for the switch port.
