several clients can be connected to the same port (e.g. through a 3rd party
switch or a hub) and still require individual authentication, and that the clients
don't need special supplicant software to authenticate. The advantage of
MAC-based authentication over 802.1X-based authentication is that the clients
don't need special supplicant software to authenticate. The disadvantage is that
MAC addresses can be spoofed by malicious users - equipment whose MAC
address is a valid RADIUS user can be used by anyone. Also, only the
MD5-Challenge method is supported. The maximum number of clients that can
be attached to a port can be limited using the Port Security Limit Control
functionality.
 RADIUS-Assigned QoS
Enabled
When RADIUS-Assigned QoS is both globally enabled and enabled (checked)
for a given port, the switch reacts to QoS Class information carried in the
RADIUS Access-Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a
supplicant is successfully authenticated. If present and valid, traffic received on
the supplicant's port will be classified to the given QoS Class. If
(re-)authentication fails or the RADIUS Access-Accept packet no longer carries a
QoS Class or it's invalid, or the supplicant is otherwise no longer present on the
port, the port's QoS Class is immediately reverted to the original QoS Class
(which may be changed by the administrator in the meanwhile without affecting
the RADIUS-assigned).
This option is only available for single-client modes, i.e.

Port-based 802.1X

Single 802.1X
RADIUS attributes used in identifying a QoS Class:
The User-Priority-Table attribute defined in RFC4675 forms the basis for
identifying the QoS Class in an Access-Accept packet.
Only the first occurrence of the attribute in the packet will be considered, and to
be valid, it must follow this rule:
 All 8 octets in the attribute's value must be identical and consist of ASCII
characters in the range '0' - '7', which translates into the desired QoS Class
in the range [0; 7].
 RADIUS-Assigned
VLAN Enabled
When RADIUS-Assigned VLAN is both globally enabled and enabled (checked)
for a given port, the switch reacts to VLAN ID information carried in the RADIUS
Access-Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a supplicant is
successfully authenticated. If present and valid, the port's Port VLAN ID will be
changed to this VLAN ID, the port will be set to be a member of that VLAN ID,
and the port will be forced into VLAN unaware mode. Once assigned, all traffic
