Local User Accounts
By storing user profiles locally on the Switch, your Switch is able to authenticate users
without interacting with a network authentication server. However, there is a limit on
the number of users you may authenticate in this way.
Guest VLAN:
The Guest VLAN in IEEE 802.1x port authentication on the switch to provide limited
services to clients, such as downloading the IEEE 802.1x client. These clients might be
upgrading their system for IEEE 802.1x authentication.
When you enable a guest VLAN on an IEEE 802.1x port, the switch assigns clients to a
guest VLAN when the switch does not receive a response to its EAP request/identity
frame or when EAPOL packets are not sent by the client.
Port Parameters:
⚫
Admin Control Direction:
both- drop incoming and outgoing packets on the port when a user has not
passed 802.1x port authentication.
in-
drop only incoming packets on the port when a user has not passed
802.1x port authentication.
⚫
Re-authentication:
Specify if a subscriber has to periodically re-enter his or her username and
password to stay connected to the port.
⚫
Reauth-period:
Specify how often a client has to re-enter his or her username and password to
stay connected to the port. The acceptable range for this field is 0 to 65535
seconds.
⚫
Port Control Mode:
auto:
Users can access network after authenticating.
force-authorized:
Users can access network without authentication.
force-unauthorized: Users cannot access network.

⚫
Quiet Period:
Specify a period of the time the client has to wait before the next re-
authentication attempt. This will prevent the Switch from becoming overloaded
with continuous re-authentication attempts from the client. The acceptable
range for this field is 0 to 65535 seconds.
⚫
Server Timeout:
The server-timeout value is used for timing out the Authentication Server.
⚫
Supp-Timeout:
The supp-timeout value is the initialization value used for timing out a Supplicant.
⚫
Max-req Time:
Specify the amount of times the Switch will try to connect to the authentication
server before determining the server is down. The acceptable range for this field
is 1 to 10 times.
