Tri-Authentication
The switch supports three types of authentication for devices that connect to switch ports.
■ 802.1X-authentication of devices connecting to switch ports
■ MAC-authentication of devices connecting to switch ports
■ Web-authentication of devices connecting to switch ports
All three types can be configured to run simultaneously on a switch port. The
simultaneous configuration and authentication of all three types on a port is called tri-
authentication.
