Compound Authentication

Modern networks employ many authentication methods. The Compound Authentication methods supported by this Switch include
802.1X, MAC-based Access Control (MAC), Web-based Access Control (WAC), Japan Web-based Access Control (JWAC), and
IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB). The Compound Authentication feature allows clients running different authentication methods to
connect to the network using the same switch port.
The Compound Authentication feature can be implemented using one of the following modes:
Any (MAC, 802.1X or WAC) Mode
Figure 6 - 68. Any (MAC, 802.1X or WAC) Mode
In the diagram above the Switch port has been configured to allow clients to authenticate using 802.1X, MAC, or WAC. When a
client tries to connect to the network, the Switch will try to authenticate the client using one of these methods and if the client
passes they will be granted access to the network.
