Security > Port Access Control
This section contains information and configuration procedures for the
Port-based Access Control. Port-based Network Access Control (IEEE
802.1X) is used to control who can send traffic through and receive traffic
from a switch port. With this feature, the switch does not allow an end
node to send or receive traffic through a port until the user of the node
logs on by entering a user name and password.
This feature can prevent an unauthorized individual from connecting a
computer to a port or using an unattended workstation to access your
network resources. Only those users to whom you have assigned a user
name and password are able to use the switch to access the network.
This feature can be used with one of two authentication methods:
The RADIUS authentication protocol requires that a remote
•
RADIUS server is present on your network. The RADIUS server
performs the authentication of the user name and password
combinations.
The Dial-in User (local) authentication method allows you to set
•
up the authentication parameters internally in the switch without
an external server. In this case, the user name and password
combinations are entered in the associated with an optional VLAN
when they are defined. Based on these entries, the authentication
process is done locally by the Web Management using a standard
EAPOL transaction.
Note: RADIUS with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
extensions is the only supported authentication server for this feature.
