services to the client through the interface.
If Auto is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause the port to begin in the unauthorized
state, allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port. The
authentication process begins when the link state of the port transitions from down to up,
or when an EAPOL-start frame is received. The Switch then requests the identity of the
client and begins relaying authentication messages between the client and the
authentication server.
The default setting is Auto.
This allows the 802.1X Authenticator settings to be applied on a per-port basis. Select
Authenticator to apply the settings to the port. When the setting is activated, a user must
pass the authentication process to gain access to the network. Select None disable
802.1X functions on the port.
Sets the administrative-controlled direction to Both or In. If Both is selected, control is
exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected in the
first field. If In is selected, the control is only exerted over incoming traffic through the port
the user selected in the first field.
This is a global setting to control the forwarding of EAPOL PDU. When 802.1X
functionality is disabled globally or for a port, and if 802.1X forward PDU is enabled both
globally and for the port, a received EAPOL packet on the port will be flooded in the same
VLAN to those ports for which 802.1X forward PDU is enabled and 802.1X is disabled
(globally or just for the port). The default state is disabled.
Specifies the maximum number of users. The maximum user limit is 1792 users. By
default, the maximum value is selected. Tick the No Limit check box to have unlimited
users.
