INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CWGE28FX4TX24MS 802.1x This page allows you to configure the IEEE 802.1X and MAC-based authentication system and port 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. One or more central servers, the backend servers, determine whether the user is allowed access to the network.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CWGE28FX4TX24MS Overview of MAC-Based Authentication Unlike 802.1X, MAC-based authentication is not a standard, but merely a best-practices method adopted by the industry. In MAC-based authentication, users are called clients, and the switch acts as the supplicant on behalf of clients.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Label CWGE28FX4TX24MS Description System Configuration Mode Indicates if 802.1X and MAC-based authentication is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all ports are allowed forwarding of frames. If checked, clients are reauthenticated after the interval specified by the Reauthentication Period. Reauthentication for 802.1X-enabled ports can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Label CWGE28FX4TX24MS Description System Configuration Port The port number for which the configuration below applies. Admin State Sets the authentication mode to one of the following options (only used when 802.1X or MAC-based authentication is globally enabled): Auto: Requires an 802.1X-aware client (supplicant) to be authorized by the authentication server. Clients that are not 802.1X-aware will be denied access.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Restart CWGE28FX4TX24MS Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when authentication is globally enabled and the port’s Admin State is “Auto” or “MAC-Based”. Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect. Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the quiet-period of the port runs out (port-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be attempted immediately.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CWGE28FX4TX24MS 802.1X Statistics This page provides detailed IEEE 802.1X statistics for a specific switch port running port-based authentication.
