If 802.1x function is enabled, the switch will act as an authenticator for users
accessing network through the switch. It will need a RADIUS server for the
authentication function. Users will be asked for username and password before
network access. If the RADIUS server authenticates it, the switch will enable the
port for network access. This function is very useful for network security

users before authentication fail.
3. Max Request Count and Server Timeout Period:
The Server Timeout Period is the timeout period for the request between the
switch and RADIUS server.
The Max Request Count is the maximum re-try count between the switch and
RADIUS server before authentication fail.

This is the timeout value between the switch and users (called “supplicant” in
802.1x) after first identification. The valid value is 0~65535.
