Figure 192: Configuring Global Settings for 802.1X Port Authentication
Use the Security > Port Authentication (Configure Interface –
Authenticator) page to configure 802.1X port settings for the switch as the
local authenticator. When 802.1X is enabled, you need to configure the
parameters for the authentication process that runs between the client and
the switch (i.e., authenticator), as well as the client identity lookup process
that runs between the switch and authentication server.
