When authentication is complete, the RADIUS server sends a special packet containing a success or
failure indication. Besides forwarding this decision to the supplicant, the switch uses it to open up or
block traffic on the switch port connected to the supplicant.
Overview of User Authentication
It is allowed to configure the Managed Switch to authenticate users logging into the system for
management access using local or remote authentication methods, such as telnet and Web browser.
This Managed Switch provides secure network management access using the following options:
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus ()
Local user name and Privilege Level control
4.9.1.1 Understanding IEEE 802.1X Port-based Authentication
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a client-server-based access control and authentication protocol that
restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports. The
authentication server authenticates each client connected to a switch port before making available any
services offered by the switch or the LAN.
Until the client is authenticated, 802.1X access control allows only
Extensible Authentication Protocol
over LAN (EAPOL)
traffic through the port to which the client is connected. After authentication is
successful, normal traffic can pass through the port.
This section includes this conceptual information:

Device Roles
With 802.1X port-based authentication, the devices in the network have specific roles as shown below.
