Configurating the RADIUS server
Select the Security:802.1x Port Authentication:RADIUS
Server dialog.
This dialog allows you to enter the data for one, two or three RADIUS
servers.
Click "Create entry" to open the dialog window for entering the IP ad-
dress of a RADIUS server.
Confirm the IP address entered using "OK".
You thus create a new row in the table for this RADIUS server.
In the "Shared secret" column you enter the character string which
you get as a key from the administrator of your RADIUS server.
With "Primary server" you name this server as the first server which
the device should contact for port authentication queries. If this serv-
er is not available, the device contacts the next server in the table.
"Selected server" shows which server the device actually sends its
queries to.
With "Delete entry" you delete the selected row in the table.
Selecting ports
Select the Security:802.1x Port Authentication:Port
Configuration dialog.
In the "Port control" column you select "auto" for the ports for which
you want to activate the port-related network access control.
Activating access control
Select the Security:802.1x
bal dialog.
With "Function" you enable the function.
