802.1x authentication
802.1x is a standard authentication protocol that defines a client-server-based access control and
authentication protocol. 802.1x restricts unknown or unauthorized clients from connecting to a
LAN through publicly accessible ports.
NOTE
802.1x is not supported for internal ports.
A switch must be enabled for 802.1x authentication before you configure its parameters. See
“Setting 802.1x parameters for a port” for more information.
