DGS-3700-12/DGS-3700-12G Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet User Manual 

 

 

 

223 

Original RX VID 

Display the VID from which the user being authenticated originated.  

State 

Display the state of WAC authentication. 

VID 

Display the assigned VLAN. 

Assigned Priority 

Display the assigned priority. 

Aging Time/Block 
Time 

Display the aging time period during which an authenticated host will remain in the 
authenticated state. The value is between 0 and 1440 minutes. A value of 0 indicates the 
authenticated host will never age out on the port. The default value is 1440 minutes (24 
hours). The block time parameter is the period of time a host will be blocked if it fails to pass 
authentication. The value is between 0 and 300 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds. 

Idle Time 

Display the idle time. 

Click 

Apply

 to implement changes.  

 

 

NOTE:

 The subnet of the IP address of the authentication VLAN must be the same as that of 

the client, or the client will always be denied authentication. 

 

 

NOTE: 

A successful authentication should direct the client to the stated web page. If the client 

does not reach this web page, yet does not receive a 

Fail!

 message, the client will already be 

authenticated and therefore should refresh the current browser window or attempt to open a 
different web page. 

 

Compound Authentication 

Modern networks employ many authentication methods. The Compound Authentication methods supported by this 
Switch include 802.1X, MAC-based Access Control (MBAC), Web-based Access Control (WAC), and IP-MAC-Port 
Binding (IMPB). The Compound Authentication feature allows clients running different authentication methods to 
connect to the network using the same switch port. 

The Compound Authentication feature can be implemented using one of the following modes: 

Any (MAC, 802.1X or WAC) Mode 

In the diagram above the Switch port has been 
configured to allow clients to authenticate using 802.1X, 
MBAC, or WAC. When a client tries to connect to the 
network, the Switch will try to authenticate the client 
using one of these methods and If the client passes, it 
will be granted access to the network.
