Security Tab - 802.1x Port Conf. (Configuration)
The 802.1x Port Configuration screen lists the Switch’s 802.1x ports and allows you to configure the
authentication settings per port. This authentication method uses a RADIUS server and the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Port. This is the port name.
Admin Port Control. This is the state of the port authorization. Traffic is forwarded if the state is forceAuthorized.
Traffic is discarded if the state is forceUnauthorized. If the state is Auto, then that means the controlled port state
is set by the authentication method.
Enable Periodic Reauthentication. True indicates that reauthentication is automatic, while False indicates that
reauthentication is manual.
Reauthentication Period. This is the number of seconds that the Switch waits before initiating the
reauthentication process.
Quiet Period. This is the number of seconds the Switch remains in the quiet state after an authentication
exchange has failed.
Resending EAP. This is the number of seconds the Switch waits for a response to an EAP request/identity frame,
before resending the request.
Max EAP Requests. This is the total number of EAP requests sent. If a response is not received in time, the
authentication process is restarted.
Supplicant Timeout (sec). This is the number of seconds that the Switch waits before EAP requests are resent
to the client.
Server Timeout (sec). This is the number of seconds that the Switch waits before it resends a request to the
RADIUS server.
