20 dot1x privateclient enable, X privateclient enable – PLANET WGSW-52040 User Manual
Page 641

39-181
Default:
Advanced access control method based on user is used by default.
Usage Guide:
This command is used to configure the dot1x authentication method for the specified port. When port based
authentication is applied, only one host can authenticate itself through one port. And after authentication, the host will
be able to access all the resources. When MAC based authentication is applied, multiple host which are connected
to one port can access all the network resources after authentication. When either of the above two kinds of access
control is applied, un-authenticated host cannot access any resources in the network.
When user based access control is applied, un-authenticated users can only access limited resources of the network.
The user based access control falls into two kinds – the standard access control and the advanced access control.
The standard user based access control does not limit the access to the limited resources when the host is not
authenticated yet. While the user based advanced access control can control the access to the limited resources
before authentication is done.
Notes: For standard control method based on user, the 802.1x free resource must be configured first, and it needs to
be used with dot1x privateclient enable.
Example:
To configure the access control method based on port for Etherent1/4.
