Port Settings
The IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication provides a security standard for network access control with
RADIUS servers and holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. With 802.1X
port-based authentication, the supplicant provides the required credentials, such as user name,
password, or digital certificate to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to
the authentication server for verification to the guest VLAN. If the authentication server determines the
credentials are valid, the supplicant is allowed to access resources located on the protected side of the
network.
From here, you can configure the port settings as they relate to 802.1X. First, select the mode from you
wish to utilize from the drop down box. Next, choose whether to enable or disable re-authentication for
the port. Enter the time span that you wish to elapse for the re-authentication Period, Quiet Period, and
Supplicant Period. After this, enter the max number of times you wish for the Switch to retransmit the
EAP request. Finally, choose whether you wish to enable or disable the VLAN ID.
Select whether authentication is Enabled or Disabled on the Switch.
Select whether Guest VLAN is Enabled or Disabled on the Switch. The default
is Disabled.
Select the guest VLAN ID from the list of currently defined VLANs.
