2.4.12 802.1x Configuration

System Configuration

802.1x makes use of the physical access characteristics of IEEE802 LAN infrastructures in order to provide a means of authenticating and authorising devices attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing access to that port in cases in which the authentication and authorisation process fails.

To enable 802.1x: From Administrator/Switch setting/Misc Config fill in the authentication server information:

Radius Server IP Address: the IP address of the authentication server.

Server Port: The UDP port number used by the authentication server to authenticate.

Accounting Port: The UDP port number used by the authentication server to retrieve accounting information.

Shared Key: A key shared between this switch and authentication server.

NAS, Identifier: A string used to identify this switch.

Fu - Force the specific port to be unauthorised. Fa - Force the specific port to be authorised.

Au - The state of the specific port was determined by the outcome of the authentication.

No - The specific port does not support 802.1x functions.
