In this section, you can configure 802.1x and MAC address table.
802.1X/Radius Configuration
802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification which prevents the client from connecting to a wireless
access point or wired switch until it provides authority, like the user name and password that are verified
by an authentication server (such as RADIUS server).
802.1X/Radius - System Configuration
