802.1X on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch

In Dell Networking OS Release 9.3(0.0), the MXL 10/40GbE Switch supports 802.1X port authentication.

802.1X is a method of port security. A device connected to a port that is enabled with 802.1X is

disallowed from sending or receiving packets on the network until its identity can be verified (through a

username and password, for example). For details on the command syntaxes and the keywords, refer the

802.1X chapter of the MXL Command Reference Guide of Release 9.2(0.2). For details on the conceptual

overview and step-wise procedures to enable and configure 802.1X settings, refer the 802.1X chapter of

the MXL Configuration Guide of Release 9.2(0.2).
