Configuring Port-Based and Client-Based Access Control (802.1X)
Overview
N o t e
9-6
Port-Based 802.1X can operate concurrently with Web-Authentication or
MAC-Authentication on the same port. However, this is not a commonly used
application and is not generally recommended. For more information, refer
to "Operating Notes" on page 9-62.

Alternative To Using a RADIUS Server

Note that you can also configure 802.1X for authentication through the
switch's local username and password instead of a RADIUS server, but doing
so increases the administrative burden, decentralizes user credential admin-
istration, and reduces security by limiting authentication to one Operator
password set for all users.

Accounting

The switches covered in this guide also provide RADIUS Network accounting
for 802.1X access. Refer to chapter 5, "RADIUS-Administered CoS and Rate-
Limiting".
