6.2 IEEE 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is an extended authentication protocol1 that allows support of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user profile and accounting2 management on a network RADIUS server.
You must enable 802.1x on the switch (see Switch Setup screen) before enabling it on a port.
6.3 Configure 802.1x on a Port
Click a port link in the Port Setup summary screen to enter that port’s configuration screen.
1At the time of writing, only Windows XP of the Microsoft operating systems supports it. See the Microsoft web site for information on other Windows operating system support. For other operating systems, see its documentation. If your operating system does not support 802.1x, then you may need to install 802.1x client software.
