9. When the authenticator PAE receives a Radius-Access-Accept, it
willsend an EAP-Success to the supplicant. At this time, the supplicant
is authorized and the port connected to the supplicant and under
802.1X control is in the authorized state. The supplicant and other
devices connected to this port can access the network. If the
authenticator receives a Radius-Access-Reject, it will send an EAP-
Failure to the supplicant. This means the supplicant is failed to
authenticate. The port it connected is in the unauthorized state, the
supplicant and the devices connected to this port won
’t be allowed to
access the network.
10. When the supplicant issue an EAP-Logoff message to Authentication
server, the port you are using is set to be unauthorized.
Fig. 4-59
Only MultiHost 802.1X is the type of authentication supported in the switch.
In this mode, for the devices connected to this port, once a supplicant is
authorized, the devices connected to this port can access the network
resource through this port.
802.1X Port-based Network Access Control function supported by the
switch is little bit complex, for it just support basic Multihost mode, which
can distinguish the device
’s MAC address and its VID. The following table is
the summary of the combination of the authentication status and the port
status versus the status of port mode, set in 802.1X Port mode, port control
state, set in 802.1X port setting. Here Entry Authorized means MAC entry is
authorized.
