Advanced: Each client attached to this port must do 802.1X authentication individually.
Clientless: The clients don’t need to install the 802.1X client function. The client PC (for example WINDOW XP) does not need to
enable 802.1X client function to do 802.1X authentication. The network administrator needs to configure the Radius server using
each client’s MAC address for the Radius account ID and password.
Port Control: Use this to set the authorization operation mode. There are three type of operation mode supported,
ForceUnauthorized, ForceAuthorized, and Auto. The default is Auto.
ForceUnauthorized: The controlled port is forced to stay in the unauthorized state.
ForceAuthorized: The controlled port is forced to stay in the authorized state.
Auto: Whether the controlled port is set to be in authorized state or unauthorized state depends on the result of the authentication
exchange between the authentication server and the supplicant.
reAuthMax(1–10): The number of authentication attempts permitted before the port becomes unauthorized. Default: 2
txPeriod (1-65535 s): The amount of time required to transmit the EAPOL PDU between the authenticator and the supplicant. Default:
30
Quiet Period (0-65535 s): A period of time during which we will not attempt to access the supplicant. Default: 60 seconds
reAuthEnabled: Choose whether regular authentication will take place for this port. Default: ON
reAuthPeriod (1-65535 s): A non-zero number of seconds between the periodic re-authentication of the supplicant. Default: 3600
max. Request (1–10): The maximum number of times that the authenticator will retransmit an EAP Request to the supplicant before it
times out the authentication session. The valid range is 1–10. Default: 2 times
suppTimeout (1-65535 s): A timeout condition in the exchange between the authenticator and the supplicant. The valid range is 1–
65535. Default: 30 seconds.
serverTimeout (1-65535 s): A timeout condition in the exchange between the authenticator and the authentication server. The valid
range is 1–65535. Default: 30 seconds
