156 Barracuda NG Access Monitor
11.2.6 802.1X Authentication - Port Security
11.2.7 Network Interfaces
As seen in figure 11–7, the Port Security view lists all network interfaces available for 802.1X
authentication in two groups:
• Managed
• Unmanaged
Managed network interfaces have been activated for the use of 802.1X authentication. The Barracuda
NG Access Monitor provides several actions for all managed network interfaces when a
wpa_supplicant is running for the network interface.
Unmanaged network interfaces have not been enabled yet to use the 802.1X authentication scheme.
It is not possible to perform any actions on unmanaged interfaces through the Barracuda NG Access
Monitor.
If available, the list shows the following information:

Task Description
Logon Starts the 802.1X authentication scheme, by requesting network access through the switch, which enables the line protocol if
successful, allowing all network traffic.
Logoff Tells the switch, the client computer does not need network access any more. The switch will disable the line protocol and
block all network traffic except for EAP, CDP and STP protocols.
Reassociate Restart the authentication process if already authenticated.
Reset This will reset the session password used for authentication against the RADIUS server. Hence the authentication process will
start from beginning and client computer will receive a new session password.
Trace EAP Packets… Opens the EAP Packet tracer with packet data for the selected network interface.
