CHAPTER 17 802.1x 17.1 Overview This chapter describes the IEEE 802.1x authentication method. Port authentication is a way to validate access to ports on the Switch to clients based on an external server (authentication server). The Switch supports the following method for port authentication: • IEEE 802.1x - An authentication server validates access to a port based on a username and password provided by the user. The external servers that perform authentication and authorization functions are known as AAA servers. This Switch supports RADIUS (Remote Authentication DialIn User Service). Figure 59 RADIUS Server 17.2 What You Can Do • Use the 802.1x Setting screen (Section 17.5 on page 129) to activate IEEE 802.1x security and configure the RADIUS server settings. • Use the 802.1x Port Setting screen (Section 17.6 on page 130) to configure IEEE 802.1x port authentication settings.
