Configuring 802.1x Port-Based Authentication

A port-based network access control uses the physical access characteristics of
IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures in order to provide a means of authenticating and
authorizing devices attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection
characteristics. It also prevents access to that port in cases where the
authentication fails. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices trying to
connect to a LAN. The Cisco RV180/RV180W acts as a supplicant in the 802. 1 x
authentication system.
To configure 802. 1 x Authentication:
Choose Security > 802. 1 x Configuration.
Check the Enable box to configure a port as an 802. 1 x supplicant.
Select the LAN port that should be configured as an 802. 1 x supplicant.
