Global Settings

When a supplicant is connected to a Switch port, the port
issues an 802.1X authentication request to the attached
the 802.1X supplicant. The supplicant replies with the
given username and password and an authentication
request is then passed to a configured Radius server.
The authentication server's user database supports
Extended Authentication Protocol (EAP), which allows
particular guest VLAN memberships to be defined
based on each individual user. After authorization, the
port connected to the authenticated supplicant then
becomes a member of the specified guest VLAN. When
the supplicant is successfully authenticated, traffic is
automatically assigned to the guest VLAN.
State: Select whether authentication is Enabled or
Disabled on the Switch.
Guest VLAN: Select whether Guest VLAN is Enabled
or Disabled on the Switch. The default is
Disabled.
Guest VLAN ID: Select the guest VLAN ID from the list of
currently defined VLANs.
Click Apply to save the changes to the system.
