Basic authentication
Authentication based on 802.1x standard enables authentication of switch users via the external
server using the port that the client is connected to. Only authenticated and authorized users will be able
to send and receive the data. Port user authentication is performed by a RADIUS server via EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol).
