Setting Port Roles
To set port roles for port-based access control, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.
2. Select Security.
3. Select the 802.1x Port Access tab.
The Security page is as shown in Figure 108 on page 330.
The graphic image of the switch shows the assigned roles of the ports.
Ports with an “A” are authenticators and ports with an “S” are
supplicants. A black port has a port role of None and so is not
participating in port-based access control. This is the default setting for
a port.
4. To set a port’s role, click on the port. The selected port turns white.
You can select more than one port at a time.
5. Click Port Role.
The Port Role Configuration page is shown in Figure 109.

6. Select the desired role for the port. Click None if the port is not to
participate in port access control. This is the default setting. Clicking
Authenticator configures the port to function as an authenticator. This
is the appropriate setting if the port is connected to a supplicant.
Clicking Supplicant sets the port to function as an supplicant. This is
the appropriate setting if the port is connected to an authenticator. A
port can have only one port role at a time.
7. Click Apply.
The new role is immediately activated on the port.
