802.1x Port Authentication
The switch supports IEEE 802.1x (dot1x) port-based access control that
prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring users to first
enter a user ID and password for authentication. Client authentication is
controlled centrally by a RADIUS server using EAPOL (Extensible
Authentication Protocol Over LAN).
