IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part
of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism for

RADIUS Server settings must be configured before enabling 802.1x because the EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) Authenticator relies on the RADIUS Server in its

the available public port, and then forward it. At the same time, the router shall list an entry in
