A wired authentication port is an Ethernet port that has 802.1X
authentication enabled for access control. Like wireless users, users that
are connected to the WX switch over Ethernet can be authenticated
before they can be authorized to use the network. However, data for
wired users is not encrypted after they are authenticated.
To configure wired authentication ports:
1 Do one of the following:
Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Wired Authentication in the
organizer list of the System and Administrative page.
In the Organizer panel, select Ports / MAPs under a WX switch, then
select Edit > Properties. Click on Wired Authentication at the top
