3.2.4Security
In this section, you can configure 802.1x and MAC address table.
802.1X/Radius Configuration
802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification which prevents the client from connecting to 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).
802.1X/Radius - 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. |
