4.3.7 802.1X Configuration
IEEE 802.1x standard is a port-based access control and authentication protocol that
prevents unauthorized clients from connecting to LAN via publicly accessible switch ports.
The clients or workstations requesting access to LAN should run 802.1x compliant software;
otherwise, the clients will not be granted access to LAN. Once clients successfully
authenticate with the authentication server, all ingress and egress traffic from clients can
pass through the port.
Click the folder 802.1X Configuration from the Switch Management menu and then three
options within this folder will be displayed as follows.
1. 802.1X System: Set up 802.1X server IP, secret, re-authentication period, EAP timeout
and re-authentication type.
2. 802.1X Port Admin State: Enable or disable each port’s 802.1X port state.
3. 802.1X Port Reauthenticate: Set up which ports should reauthenticate with the server.
