NETGEAR AV Line M4250 GSM4210PX 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed AV Switch with SFP (220W) - Manual (Page 778)

The authentication is handled by an external RADIUS server. When the visitor is
successfully authenticated, traffic is automatically assigned to the guest VLAN. This
example assumes that a VLAN was configured with a VLAN ID of 150 and VLAN name
of Guest.
1. On the Port Authentication page, select ports 5, 6, 7, and 8.
2. From the Port Control menu, select Unauthorized.
The selection from the Port Control menu for all other ports on which authentication
is not needed must be Authorized. When the selection from the Port Control menu
is Authorized, the port is unconditionally put in a force-authorized state and does
not require any authentication. When the selection from the Port Control menu is
Auto, the authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode.
3. In the Guest VLAN field for ports 5 through 8, enter 150 to assign these ports to
the guest VLAN.
You can configure additional settings to control access to the network through the
ports. See Configure a port security interface on page 568 for information about the
settings.
4. Click the Apply button.
5. On the 802.1X Configuration page, set the Port Based Authentication State and
Guest VLAN mode to Enable, and then the Apply button (See Configure the global
port security mode on page 567).
This example uses the default values for the port authentication settings, but you
can configure several additional settings. For example, the EAPOL Flood Mode
field allows you to enable the forwarding of EAPoL frames when 802.1X is disabled
on the device.
6. On the RADIUS Server Configuration page, configure a RADIUS server with the
following settings:
• Server Address: 192.168.10.23
• Secret Configured: Yes
• Secret: secret123
• Active: Primary
For more information, see RADIUS servers on page 500.
7. Click the Add button.
8. On the Authentication List page, configure the default List to use RADIUS as the first
authentication method (See Configure a login authentication list on page 514).
This example enables 802.1X-based port security on the switch and prompts the hosts
connected on ports 5 through 8 for an 802.1X-based authentication. The switch passes
the authentication information to the configured RADIUS server.
