• With port-based access control, once an 802.1X user passes authentication on a port, any
subsequent user can access the network through the port without authentication. When the
authenticated user logs off, all other users are logged off.
• With MAC-based access control, each user is separately authenticated on a port. When a user logs
off, no other online users are affected.
NOTE:
For more information about 802.1X protocol, see H3C WX3000E Series Wireless Switches Switching
Engine Configuration Guide.
