Note

To permanently save your new settings or any changes to the configuration file, select Save Configuration to Flash from the main menu on the left side of the page.

The Dial-in User (local) authentication method allows you to set up 802.1x authentication parameters internally in the switch. In this case, the user name and password combinations are entered with an optional VLAN when they are defined. Based on these entries, the authentication process of a supplicant is done locally by the AT-S110 Management software using a standard EAPOL (EAP over LAN) transaction.

The procedures in this section describe how to create, delete, and modify dial-in users. See the following procedures:

“Add a Dial-in User” on page 276
