The Compound Authentication methods supported by this Switch include 802.1X, MAC-based Access Control (MAC), Web-based Access Control (WAC), Japan Web-based Access Control (JWAC), and IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB). The Compound Authentication feature allows clients running different authentication methods to connect to the network using the same switch port.

When a client tries to connect to the network, the Switch will try to authenticate the client using one of these methods and if the client passes, it will be granted access to the network.
