What Other Features Use Authentication; Which Radius Attributes Does The Switch Support - Dell PowerConnect 8024 User Configuration Manual

What Other Features Use Authentication?

In addition to controlling access to the management interface, the switch can
use RADIUS, IAS, or the local user database to provide port-based access
control. Port-based access control specifies whether devices that are
connected to the switch ports are allowed access to the network.
The IEEE 802.1X feature (also known as Dot1X) and Captive Portal feature
use RADIUS or the local user database to control network access. IEEE
802.1X can also use the IAS to authenticate users. For information about
IEEE 802.1X, see "Configuring 802.1X and Port-Based Security" on page 481.
For information about Captive Portal, see "Configuring a Captive Portal" on
page 425.
The RADIUS server can provide VLAN assignments to devices connected to
the switch ports. For information about RADIUS-assigned VLANs, see
"Dynamic VLAN Creation" on page 486.

Which RADIUS Attributes Does the Switch Support?

Table 9-2 lists the RADIUS attributes that the switch supports and indicates
whether the 802.1X feature, user management feature, or Captive Portal
feature supports the attribute. You can configure these attributes on the
RADIUS server(s) when utilizing the switch RADIUS service.
