  • Page 69: Figure 5-44: Security - 802.1X Users

    When a client (i.e., Supplicant) connects to a switch port, the switch (i.e., Authenticator) responds with an EAPOL identity request. The client provides its identity (such as a user name) in an EAPOL response to the switch, which it forwards to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server verifies the client identity and sends an access challenge back to the client.
  • Page 70: Figure 5-45: Security - 802.1X Port Conf

    When 802.1X is enabled, you need to configure the parameters for the authentication process that runs between the client and the switch (that is, authenticator), as well as the client identity lookup process that runs between the switch and authentication server. These parameters are described in this section.
  • Page 71: Figure 5-47: Security - Port Security

    Port Security Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized to access the network through that port. When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number.

    The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down The Spanning Tree tab includes links to the following screens.

  • Page 84: Igmp

    The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) runs between hosts and their immediately adjacent multicast router/switch. IGMP is a multicast host registration protocol that allows any host to inform its local router that it wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group.

    Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface (port or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current multicast groups supported by the attached router. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the...
