19 Configuring 802.1X
Physical devices attached to a LAN port on the switch through a point-to-point LAN connection may be
authenticated through the switch through port-based network access control. This control is available
through the IEEE 802.1X standard implemented on the switch.

In This Chapter

This chapter describes 802.1X ports used for port-based access control and how to configure them through
the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more
details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
