Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports
Configure the Dot1x Authentication List
The Dot1x authentication list defines the IEEE 802.1X authentication method used for the
default list. The default list is dot1xList.
 To configure the dot1x authentication list:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Security > Management Security > Authentication List > Dot1x Authentication
List.
The Dot1x Authentication List page displays.
6. Select the check box next to the dot1xList name.
7. From the menu in the 1 column, select the method that must be used as the first method in
the selected authentication login list.
The options are as follows:
• Local. The user’s locally stored ID and password are used for authentication.
• None. The user is not authenticated.
• Radius. The user’s ID and password are authenticated using the RADIUS server
instead of locally.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
