D-Link DHS-3224V Switch User’s Guide

 

This window allows you to set the following features:

 

 

Unit

Select the unit in the stack order to configure.

 

 

From [ ] To [ ]

Select the port or ports to be set.

 

 

 

 

 

Sets the administrative-controlled direction to either in or both. If in is

AdmDir

selected, control is only exerted over incoming traffic through the port

you selected in the first field. If both is selected, control is exerted over

 

 

both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected

 

 

in the first field.

 

 

 

 

 

This allows you to control the port authorization state. Select

 

 

forceAuthorized to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to

 

 

the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. This

 

 

means the port transmits and receives normal traffic without 802.1X-

 

 

based authentication of the client. If forceUnauthorized is selected, the

 

 

port will remain in the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the

 

 

client to authenticate. The switch cannot provide authentication

PortControl

services to the client through the interface. The third option is auto. This

enables 802.1X and causes the port to begin in the unauthorized state,

 

 

 

 

allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port.

 

 

The authentication process begins when the link state of the port

 

 

transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is received.

 

 

The switch then requests the identity of the client and begins relaying

 

 

authentication messages between the client and the authentication

 

 

server. Each client attempting to access the network is uniquely

 

 

identified by the switch by using the client’s MAC address.

 

 

TxPeriod

This sets the period of time for the authenticator PAE state machine.

 

 

 

QuietPeriod

This allows you to set the number of seconds that the switch remains in

the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client.

 

 

 

 

 

SuppTimeout

This sets the port’s suppTimeout for the Backend Authentication state

machine.

 

 

 

 

 

ServerTimeout*

This sets the port’s serverTimeout for the Backend Authentication state

machine.

 

 

 

 

MaxReq

Set this for the Backend Authentication state machine.

 

 

ReAuthPeriod

Set this for the Reauthentication Timer state machine.

 

 

 

ReAuth

Toggle the port’s re-authenticating control between Enabled and

Disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Note: The ServerTimeout value must be set to a value that is less than the Radius Timeout and Radius Maximum Retransmit settings (see Configure General Radius Server Setting)
