Item Description
Port Mode
•
mac-else-userlogin-secure—This mode is the combination of
the mac-authentication and userlogin-secure modes, with MAC
authentication having a higher priority. Upon receiving a
non-802.1X frame, a port in this mode performs only MAC
authentication; upon receiving an 802.1X frame, the port
performs MAC authentication and then, if MAC authentication
fails, 802.1X authentication.
•
mac-else-userlogin-secure-ext—This mode is similar to the
mac-else-userlogin-secure mode, except that it supports multiple
802.1X and MAC authentication users on the port.
•
userlogin-secure-or-mac—This mode is the combination of the
userlogin-secure and mac-authentication modes, with 802.1X
authentication having a higher priority. For a wireless user,
802.1X authentication is performed first. If 802.1X
authentication fails, MAC authentication is performed.
•
userlogin-secure-or-mac-ext—This mode is similar to the
userlogin-secure-or-mac mode, except that it supports multiple
802.1X and MAC authentication users on the port.
Select Wireless Service > Access Service from the navigation tree,
click MAC Authentication List, and enter the MAC address of the
client.
Max User
Control the maximum number of users allowed to access the
network through the port.
Mandatory Domain
Select an existing domain from the list. After a mandatory domain
is configured, all 802.1X users accessing the port are forced to use
the mandatory domain for authentication, authorization, and
accounting.
The default domain is system. To create a domain, select
Authentication > AAA from the navigation tree, click the Domain
Setup tab, and enter a new domain name in the Domain Name
field.
Authentication Method
•
EAP—Use the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). With
EAP authentication, the authenticator encapsulates 802.1X user
information in the EAP attributes of RADIUS packets and sends
the packets to the RADIUS server for authentication; it does not
need to repackage the EAP packets into standard RADIUS
packets for authentication.
•
CHAP—Use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
(CHAP). By default, CHAP is used. CHAP transmits usernames
in simple text and passwords in cipher text over the network.
Therefore this method is safer.
•
PAP—Use the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). PAP
transmits passwords in plain text.
Handshake
•
Enable—Enable the online user handshake function so that the
device can periodically send handshake messages to a user to
check whether the user is online. By default, the function is
enabled.
•
Disable—Disable the online user handshake function.
