NXA-ENET8POE Gigabit PoE Ethernet Switch
802.1X
Network switches can provide open and easy access to network resources by simply attaching a client PC.
Although this automatic configuration and access is a desirable feature, it also allows unauthorized personnel
to easily intrude and possibly gain access to sensitive network data. With IEEE 802.1X (802.1X), access to all
switch ports in a network can be centrally controlled from a server, which means that authorized users can use
the same credentials for authentication from any point within the network.
Settings
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a port-based access control procedure that prevents unauthorized access to
a network by requiring users to first submit credentials for authentication.
