Parameter
Description
State
Select Enable to permit 802.1x authentication on the Switch.
Note: You must first enable 802.1x authentication on the Switch before configuring it
on each port.
Authentication
Method
Select whether to use Local or RADIUS as the authentication method.
The Local method of authentication uses the “guest” and “user” user groups of the
user account database on the Switch itself to authenticate.
However, only a certain number of accounts can exist at one time.
RADIUS is a security protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external
server instead of an internal device user database that is limited to the memory
capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS allows you to validate an unlimited number
of users from a central location.
Guest VLAN
Configure the guest vlan.
