802.1X Configuration
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control; it is
part of the IEEE 802 (802.1) group of protocols. It provides authentication to
devices attached to a LAN port, establishing a point-to-point connection or
preventing access from that port if authentication fails. IEEE 802.1X is available
on certain network switches, and can be configured to authenticate hosts which
are equipped with supplicant software, denying unauthorized access to the
network at the data link layer.
 Mode: Disable or enable IEEE 802.1x authentication.
 RADIUS IP: Set the Radius Server IP address.
 RADIUS UDP Port: Set the UDP destination port for authentication requests
to the specified Radius Server
 RADIUS Secret: Set an encryption key for authenticating usage sessions
with the specified radius server. This key must match the encryption key
used on the Radius Server
 Admin State: Select the state of port.
 Force Authorized: The specified port is required to be held in the
authorized state.
 Force Unauthorized: The specified port is required to be held in the
unauthorized state.
 Auto: The specified port is set to the authorized or unauthorized state in
accordance with the outcome of an authentication exchange between
the Supplicant and the authentication server
 Re-authenticate: Restart authentication process for the port.
 Force Reinitialize: Restart authentication process for the port.
 Statistics: Click to view each port statistic.
 Re-authenticate All: Restart authentication process for all the port.
 Force reinitialize All: Restart authentication process for all the port
 Click Apply to have the configuration take effect.
