802.1X Access Control

This feature provides port-based or client-based authentication through a RADIUS server to protect
the switch from unauthorized access and to enable the use of RADIUS-based user profiles to control
client access to network services. Included in the general features are the following:
client-based access control supporting up to 32 authenticated clients per-port
■
■ port-based access control allowing authentication by a single client to open the port
■ switch operation as a supplicant for point-to-point connections to other 802.1X-aware
switches
