Figure 31: 802.1x Port Access Page
The 802.1x Port Access Page contains the following fields:
•
Enable Port Access — Enables the 802.1x port access globally. The possible values are:
–
Checked — Enables the 802.1x port access on the device.
–
Unchecked — Disables the 802.1x port access on the device. This is the default value.
•
Authentication Method — Displays the method by which the last session was authenticated. The possible
field values are:
–
None — Indicates that no authentication method is used to authenticate the port.
–
RADIUS — Provides port authentication using the RADIUS server.
–
RADIUS, None — Provides port authentication, first using the RADIUS server. If the port is not
authenticated, then no authentication method is used, and the session is permitted.
•
Guest VLAN —Provides limited network access to unauthorized ports. If a port is denied network access via
port-based authorization, but the Guest VLAN field is enabled, the port receives limited network access.
For example, a network administrator can use Guest VLANs to deny network access via port-based
authentication, but grant Internet access to unauthorized users. The possible field values are:
–
Enable — Enables Guest VLAN.
–
Disable — Disables Guest VLAN.
•
VLAN List — The currently defined VLAN.
