Port settings
The port settings page has the following configuration parameters:
•
Port
: Specify which port to be configured.
•
AuthMode (Authentication Mode)
: If
Port_based
is selected, it
requires only one host to be authenticated per port by a remote RADIUS
server, a remote server, or a local user database. ‘Port_based’
supports Multi-host and GuestVID. Otherwise, if
MAC_based
is selected,
each host must be authenticated before accessing to the nerwork.
‘MAC_based’ doesn’t support Multi-host and GuestVID. The system
supports up to 256 hosts that try to be authenticated by ‘MAC_based’. If
‘MAC_based’ is selected, enabling the ‘Reauthentication’ in bridge settings
is recommended.
•
AuthCtrl (Authentication Control)
: If
Force_authorized
is selected,
the selected port is forced to be authorized. Thus, traffic from all hosts
is allowed to pass. Otherwise, if
Force_unauthorized
is selected, the
selected port is blocked and no traffic can go through. If ‘Auto’ is selected,
the behavior of the selected port is controlled by the 802.1x protocol.
•
Multi-host
: If enabled, all hosts connected to the selected port are
allowed to use the port if ONE of the hosts passed the authentication. If
disabled, only ONE host among other hosts passed the authentication is
allowed to use the port.
•
GuestVID
: Guest VLAN allows guest users that without 802.1x clients to
have limited network access.
