4.7 Security
The switch has the 802.1x port-based security feature. Only authorized hosts
are allowed to access the switch port. Traffic is blocked for hosts failed to
authenticate themselves. The authentication service is provided by a RADIUS
server or the local database in the switch.
The switch also supports dynamic VALN assignment through 802.1x
authentication process. The VLAN information for the users/ports should be
configured in the authentication server properly before enabling this feature
.
4.7.1 Port Access Control
Port Access Control is used to configure various 802.1x parameters.
802.1x uses either RADIUS server or local database to authenticate port
users.
The first part is the Bridge (Global) settings:
•
Reauthentication: Once enabled, the switch will try to authenticate the port
user again when the re-authentication time is up.
•
Reauthentication Time: If 'Reauthentication' is enabled, this is the interval
for the switch to re-send authentication request to the port user.(see
above)
•
Authentication Method: RADIUS or Local database can be used to
authenticate the port user.
•
Quiet Period: If authentication failed either from RADIUS or local database,
the switch waits upon this time period before sending another
authentication request to the port user.
•
Retransmission Time: If the port user failed to respond to authentication
request from the switch, the switch waits upon this time period before
sending another authentication request to the port user.
•
Max Reauthentication Attempts: Retry count if the port user failed to
respond to authentication requests from the switch.
The second part is the port settings. Please click when you have
finished the modifications.
•
Port: Specify which port to be configured.
