Transition Networks SISPM1040-3xxx-L Web User Guide 15-2 802.1X 15-2.1 Configuration This page lets you configure the IEEE 802.1X and MAC-based authentication system and port settings. The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a port-based access control procedure that prevents unauthorized access to a network by requiring users to first submit credentials for authentication. One or more central servers, the backend servers, determine whether the user is allowed access to the network. These backend (RADIUS) servers are configured on the "Security > RADIUS > Configuration" page. The IEEE802.1X standard defines port-based operation, but non-standard variants overcome security limitations as described below. MAC-based authentication allows for authentication of more than one user on the same port, and doesn't require the user to have special 802.1X supplicant software installed on his system. The switch uses the user's MAC address to authenticate against the backend server. Intruders can create counterfeit MAC addresses, which makes MAC-based authentication less secure than 802.1X authentication. Web Interface To configure the IEEE 802.1X in the web UI: 1. Click Security, 802.1X and Configuration. 2. Select "on" in the Mode of IEEE 802.1X Configuration. 3. Set the System Configuration section parameters. 4. Set the Port Configuration section parameters. 5. Click Apply to save the settings to running-config. 33763 Rev. G Figure 15-2.1: IEEE 802.1X Configuration https://www.transition.com Page 256 of 496
