Signamax 065-7840 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Managed Switch
111
Multihost 802.1X is the only type of authentication supported in the switch. In
this mode, for the devices connected to this port, those devices can access the
network resource through this port once a supplicant is authorized.
802.1x Port-based Network Access Control function supported by the switch
is somewhat complex, for it just supports the basic Multihost mode, which can
distinguish the device’s MAC address and its VID. The following table is the
summary of the combination of the authentication status and the port status versus
the status of port mode set in 802.1x Port mode, port control state, and as set in
802.1x port setting. Here Entry Authorized means MAC entry is authorized.
