3.2.5.3. 802.1x Configuration
802.1x makes use of 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, and of preventing access to that port in cases in which the
authentication and authorization process fails. In the beginning, 802.1 x
configuration page is disabled because 802.1x is disabled in default. To enable
802.1x, go to Administration-> Switch setting ->Misc Configs page to enable
the 802.1x protocol field. After clicked Apply, the 802.1x configuration page will
be shown up.
