Mode:

Enable or disable 802.1X function.

RADIUS IP:

RADIUS server IP address for authentication. Default: 0.0.0.0

RADIUS UDP Port:

The port number to be used communicate with RADIUS server for the authentication service. The valid value ranges 1-65535.

Default port number is 1812. RADIUS Secret:

The secret key between authentication server and authenticator. It is a string with the length of 1 – 15 characters. The character string may contain upper case, lower case and 0-9. It is character case sensitive. A blank in between any two characters is not allowed.

Default: None Admin State:

This is used to set the operation mode of authorization. There are three types of operation mode supported, Force Unauthorized, Force Authorized and Auto.

yForce Unauthorized:

The controlled port is forced to hold in the unauthorized state.

yForce Authorized:

The controlled port is forced to hold in the authorized state.

yAuto:

The controlled port is set to be in authorized state or unauthorized state depends on the result of the authentication exchange between the authentication server and the supplicant.

Default: Force Authorized Port State:

Show the port status of authorization. Re-authenticate:

Specify if subscriber has to periodically re-enter his or her username and password to stay connected to the port.
