3.15 802.1X Configuration
802.1X port-based network access control provides a method to restrict users from accessing network
resources by authenticating the user’s information beforehand. This restricts users from gaining access to
network resources through a 802.1X-enabled port without authentication. If users wish to access the
network through a port under 802.1X control, they must input their account name for authentication and
wait for authorization first.
The SS2GD8I only supports multi-host 802.1X authentication. In this mode, the devices connected to a
port can only gain access to the network through this port after it has been authorized.
3.15.1 State
The 802.1X State Setting page (Figure 3-48) is used to configure the global parameters for RADIUS
authentication to authenticate for 802.1X port security.
Figure 3-48: 802.1X State Setting Page
Radius Server: RADIUS server IP address for authentication. Default is 192.168.1.1
Port Number: The port number used to communicate with the RADIUS server. Valid value ranges from 1-
65535. Default port number is 1812.
Secret Key: The secret key between authentication server and authenticator. It is a string up to 31
characters long. The string may contain only letters and numbers, and is case sensitive. Default is
“Radius”.
3.15.2 Mode
The 802.1X Mode Setting page (Figure 3-49) sets the operation mode of 802.1X for each port. Only multi-
host operation mode is supported.
