802.1x Authentication

This security mode is used when a RADIUS server is connected to the device. 802.1x, a kind of Port-based au-
thentication protocol, is an authentication type and strategy for users. The port can be either a physic port or
logic port (such as VLAN). For wireless LAN users, a port is just a channel. The final purpose of 802.11x authenti-

allows all the messages to pass. If the port isn't authenticated successfully, you can keep this port " disable" which
just allows 802.1x authentication protocol message to pass. Select "802.1x" from the drop-down menu to enter
the following window:
