DGS-3630 Series Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide Network Access Authentication Port Settings This window is used to display and configure the network access authentication port settings. To view the following window, click Security > Network Access Authentication > Network Access Authentication Port Settings, as shown below: Figure 9-81 Network Access Authentication Port Settings Window The fields that can be configured are described below: Parameter Unit From Port - To Port Host Mode VID List Action VID List CompAuth Mode Description Select the Switch unit that will be used for this configuration here. Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here. Select the host mode option that will be associated with the selected port(s) here. Options to choose from are Multi Host and Multi Auth. If the port is operated in the multi-host mode, and if one of the hosts is authenticated, then all other hosts are allowed to access the port. According to 802.1X authentication, if the re-authentication fails or the authenticated user logs off, the port will be blocked for a quiet period. The port restores the processing of EAPOL packets after the quiet period. If the port is operated in the multiauthenticated mode, then each host needs to be authenticated individually to access the port. A host is represented by its MAC address. Only the authorized host is allowed to access. Select the VID list action here. Options to choose from are None, Add, and Delete. After selecting the Multi Auth option as the Host Mode, the following parameter is available. Enter the VLAN ID used here. This is useful when different VLANs on the Switch have different authentication requirements. After the client is authenticated, the client will not be re-authenticated when received from other VLANs. This option is useful for trunk ports to do per-VLAN authentication control. When a port's authentication mode is changed to multihost, the previous authentication VLAN(s) on this port will be cleared. Select the compound authentication mode option here. Options to choose from are Any and MAC-WAC. • Selecting Any specifies that if any of the authentication method (802.1X, MAC-based Access Control or WAC) to passes, then pass. 546
