802.1X Configuration

The IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication prevents unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access to
the network. This network access control uses the physical access characteristics of the IEEE 802 LAN
infrastructures to authenticate and authorize devices attached to a LAN port, that has point-to-point connection.
A port in this context is a single point of attachment to the LAN infrastructure.
To configure port-based authentication:
Step 1
Select LAN > 802.1X Configuration.
Step 2 Check Enable Port-based Authentication to enable the feature.
Step 3
Select the Administrative State in the Port table for each port, from the drop-down list.
• Auto – Enables port-based authentication. The interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized state based
on the authentication exchange between the device and the client.
• Force Authorized – Authorization is not needed. At least one LAN port must be set to force authorized.
Step 4 Port State displays the status of the link whether up or down along with authentication status.
Step 5 Click Apply.

Router Advertisement

The Router Advertisement Daemon (RADVD) is used for defining interface settings, prefixes, routes, and
announcements. The hosts rely on the routers to facilitate communication to all other hosts except those on
the local network. The routers send and respond to the Router Advertisement messages regularly. By enabling
this feature, messages are sent by the router periodically and in response to solicitations. A host uses the
information to learn the prefixes and parameters for the local network. Disabling this feature effectively
disables auto configuration, requiring manual configuration of the IPv6 address, subnet prefix, and default
gateway on each device.
To configure the Router Advertisement, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select LAN > Router Advertisement.
Step 2
Next, configure the following:
Interface Name

Router Advertisement

Select an interface from the drop-down list.
Check Enable to enable the router advertisement on the selected VLAN.
