Port Control Settings

Asanté’s implementation of 802.1X extends the standard by using MAC based logical port support. Two new port control modes, Auto Mode (Multiple Hosts) and First Come, First Serve (Single Host), are provided to assist administrators in fine-tuning this security feature.

By default, 802.1X Awareness and SystemAuthControl are disabled and all switch ports are placed in “Force Authenticated” state. For the SystemAuthControl to be enabled, 802.1X awareness must also be enabled.

Description

802.1X

Enabled

The switch recognizes 802.1X packets and will not forward packets

 

with an 802.1X reserved MAC address.

Awareness

 

 

 

Disabled

The switch isn’t 802.1X aware and authorizes all packets.

 

 

 

SystemAuth

Enabled

The 802.1X protocol will be enabled on each individual port according

 

to its own Port Control settings.

Control

Disabled

The switch works as if there is no 802.1X support, and all ports work

 

 

as if they are in ForceAuthenticated mode.

 

 

 

M

Auto Mode (Multiple

The traffic to or from multiple hosts through this port is allowed or

 

Hosts)

blocked by 802.1X protocol operation. The hosts are differentiated by

 

 

their MAC addresses. All hosts are blocked or unblocked

 

 

independently.

S

Auto Mode (Single

The traffic to or from multiple hosts through this port is allowed or

 

Host)

blocked by 802.1X protocol operation. The hosts are differentiated by

 

 

their MAC addresses. If any host is authenticated through this port,

 

 

then all hosts that attached to the same port are authenticated too.

F

First Come, Fist

The traffic to or from multiple hosts through this port is allowed or

 

Serve

blocked by 802.1X protocol operation. The hosts are differentiated by

 

 

their MAC addresses. If any host is authenticated, then all other hosts

 

 

that attached to the same port are unauthenticated, (i.e. blocked).

To set Port Control, type c in the 802.1X Configuration Menu. Type the letter of the corresponding setting and press Enter.
