802.1X Configuration
Port-based network access control uses the physical access characteristics of
IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures to provide a means of authenticating and authorizing
devices attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics,
and of preventing access to that port in cases which the authentication and
authorization fails. A port in this context is a single point of attachment to the LAN
infrastructure.
To open this page, select Port Management > 802.1X Configuration in the
navigation tree.
To configure port-based authentication:
STEP 1 Check Port-based Authentication to enable the feature.
STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server.
STEP 3 Enter the RADIUS UDP Port number.
STEP 4 Enter the RADIUS Secret.
STEP 5 Select the Administration State in the Port table from the drop-down menu:
•ForceAuthorized—Authorization is not needed. When a LAN port is Force
Authorized, the PCs attached to that LAN port must have a static IP address.
At least one LAN port must be Force Authorized.
•Force Unauthorized—Controlled port state is set to discard traffic; packets
cannot go through.
•Auto—Enables port-based authentication. The interface moves between an
authorized or unauthorized state based on the authentication exchange
between the device and the client.
STEP 6 Click Save.
