802.1x Settings and Status
• Enable the port you want to authenticate.
• Status: (R/O) Not-controlled (disabled), Controlled-Opened (managed and traffic
port is opened, meaning authentication performed successfully). Controlled-
Closed (managed and traffic port is closed, meaning authentication not
performed or failed).
802.1x Common Settings
This information will be sent to the authenticator when 802.1x packets received.
• NAS Identifier – Identifier of the authenticator.
• NAS IP Address – IP index (1 to 4) to identify the IP address (one of the 4 IP
addresses of the radio) the authentication request will use.
• Reauth Period – (minutes). Re-authentication period. If other than 0, the radio
will perform re-authentication every set number of minutes and will close the
port if authentication fails.
If value is set to 0, the port will remain open after a successful authentication till
the next reboot of the radio.
802.1x Server
Up to 2 authentication servers can be defined.
• IP Address – of the authentication server.
• Port – Port number to be used (default 1812).
• Shared Secret – password for the authentication.
3.8.6 LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a unidirectional neighbor discovery protocol
(as per IEEE 802.1AB).
LLDP performs periodic transmissions of the system's capabilities to the connected
stations. LLDP frames are not forwarded but are constrained to a single link. The
information distributed by the protocol is stored in a topology data base. This
information can be retrieved by the user in order to easily resolve the network’s
physical topology and its associated stations.
LLDP enables the discovery of accurate physical network topologies, meaning which
devices are neighbors and through which ports they connect. It enables the radio to
discover other network elements that are connected to it, including the discovery of
third-party network elements, and enables easier integration of MultiHaul™ links in an
LLDP supported networks.
