Setting Up 802.1x Authentication
The IEEE-802.1X authentication provides a security standard for network access control with RADIUS servers
and holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. With 802.1X authentication, the
supplicant provides credentials, such as user name, password, or digital certificate to the authenticator, and the
authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. If the authentication server
determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access resources located on the
protected side of the network. The Switch uses 802.1X to enable or disable port access control, to enable or
disable the Guest VLAN, and to enable or disable the forwarding EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol
over LANs) frames.
To enable 802.1 Authentication
1 Go
MANAGE > Switch Controller > Switches
and click on 802.1 x.
2 Set the
State
slider

disabled.
• Guest VLAN ID
