DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
function on the Switch.
Method
Use the pull-down menu to choose the type of authentication to be used when
authentication MAC addresses on a given port. The user may choose between the
following methods:
Local
– Use this method to utilize the locally set MAC address database as the
authenticator for MAC-based Access Control. This MAC address list can be
configured in the MAC-based Access Control Local Database Settings window.
RADIUS
– Use this method to utilize a remote RADIUS server as the authenticator for
MAC-based Access Control. Remember, the MAC list must be previously set on the
RADIUS server and the settings for the server must be first configured on the Switch.
Password
Enter the password for the RADIUS server, which is to be used for packets being sent
requesting authentication. The default password is “default”.
Guest VLAN Name/Guest
VLAN ID
Select the method of identification, either Guest VLAN name or guest VLAN ID before
entering the name or ID of the Guest VLAN being used for this function.
Guest VLAN Member Ports
Enter the list of ports that you wish to configure for the Guest VLAN.

State
Use the pull-down menu to
Enable
or
Disable
the MAC-based Access Control function
on individual ports.
Mode
Port Based
: In this mode, if one of the attached hosts is successfully authorized, all
hosts on the same port will be granted access to the network. If the port authorization
fails, this port will continue authenticating.
Host Based
: In this mode, every user can individually authenticate and access the
network.
Aging Time(1-1440 min)
A time period (configurable per port) between 1-1440 minutes, during which an
authenticated host will stay in an authenticated state. When the aging time has
expired, the host will be moved back to an unauthenticated state.
When aging time is set to infinite, it will disable the aging time.
Hold Time(1-300 sec)
If a host fails to pass the authentication it will be blocked for a period of time referred
to as hold time (per port configurable). During this time, this host can't proceed to the
authenticating process (unless the user clears the database manually). As a result,
this hold mechanism can prevent the switch from frequent authentication which
consumes too much computing power.

MAC-based Access Control Local MAC Settings
The following window is used to set a list of MAC addresses, along with their corresponding target VLAN, which will be
authenticated for the Switch. Once a queried MAC address is matched in this table, it will be placed in the VLAN associated with
it here. The switch administrator may enter up to 128 MAC addresses to be authenticated using the local method configured here.
To enable these Settings, click
Security > MAC Based Access Control > MAC Based Access Control Local MAC Settings
, as
shown below.
