4.11 Security
Figure 63. Security menu
The switch supports the 802.1x port-based security feature. Only
authorized hosts are allowed to access the switch port. Traffic will be
blocked from unauthenticated host. Authentication can be provided via a
RADIUS server or the local database in the switch.
The switch also supports dynamic VALN assignment through 802.1x
authentication process. The VLAN information for the users/ports should
be configured in the authentication server properly before enabling this
feature.
4.11.1 Port Access Control
Port Access Control is used to configure various 802.1x parameters.
802.1x uses either RADIUS server or local database to authenticate port
users.
The first part is the Bridge (Global) settings:
System-Auth-Control: Check it to enable the authentication
Authentication Method: RADIUS or Local database can be used to
authenticate the port user.
The second part is the port settings. Please click Modify when you’re done
with the modifications:
Port: Specify which port to configure from port list window.
Host Mode: If multi-host, ALL hosts connected to the selected
port are allowed to use the port if ONE of the hosts passed the
authentication. If single-host, only ONE host is allowed to use the port.
