The 802.1x Port Access Page contains the following fields:

Enable Port Access — Enables the 802.1x port access globally. The possible values are:

Checked — Enables the 802.1x port access on the device.

Unchecked — Disables the 802.1x port access on the device. This is the default value.

Authentication Method — Displays the method by which the last session was authenticated. The possible

field values are:

None — Indicates that no authentication method is used to authenticate the port.

RADIUS — Provides port authentication using the RADIUS server.

RADIUS, None — Provides port authentication, first using the RADIUS server. If the port is not

authenticated, then no authentication method is used, and the session is permitted.

Enable Guest VLAN — Provides limited network access to unauthorized ports. If a port is denied network

access via port-based authorization, but the Guest VLAN field is enabled, the port receives limited network
access.
