Setting Port Roles

To set port roles for port-based network access control, perform the
following procedure:

1. From the home page, select Configuration.

The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 5 on page 40.

2. From the Configuration menu, select the Security option.

The Security page is displayed with the 802.1x Port Access tab
selected by default, as shown in Figure 129.

Figure 129. 802.1x Port Access Tab (Configuration)

The graphical image of the switch shows which ports have already
been assigned port roles. An “A” indicates that a port is
functioning as an authenticator while an “S” indicates the port is
functioning as a supplicant. A black port has not been assigned a
port role and is not participating in port-based access control. This
is the default setting for a port.
