LABEL DESCRIPTION
802.1x Select Enable to activate the port authentication method on the
MES-2110. Otherwise, select Disable.
Reauth-Max Specify the number of times the MES-2110 tries to authenticate client(s)
before sending unresponsive ports to the Guest VLAN.
This is set to 2 by default. That is, the MES-2110 attempts to
authenticate a client twice. If the client does not respond to the
first authentication request, the MES-2110 tries again. If the client
still does not respond to the second request, the MES-2110 sends
the client to the Guest VLAN. The client needs to send a new
request to be authenticated by the MES-2110 again.
Guest VLAN Select Enable then enter the number that identifies the Guest VLAN.
Make sure this is the Guest VLAN recognized in your network.
Clients belonging to the guest VLAN can access unprotected areas in your
network, such as the Internet.
Select Disable if you do not want to use this feature.
Undo Click this to restore your last saved settings.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the MES-2110’s run-time memory.
The MES-2110 loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so
use the Save Settings link in the navigation panel to save your changes
to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
