802.1x Authentication Protocol
IEEE 802.1x is a port-based network access protocol that provides an authentication mechanism for
devices that are physically attached to the network.
802.1x authentication can be enabled on LAN ports that are not part of port bonding, internet connections, or
port mirroring.
Workflow:
1. Install and configure a RADIUS Server in your environment.
2. Configure the RADIUS Server object on the appliance. See "Managing Authentication Servers" on
page278 .
3. Activate 802.1x authentication on a LAN switch, separate LAN interface or a tag-based VLAN
interface defined on one of the LAN physical ports.
4. If 802.1x is turned on for a tag-based VLAN (because 802.1x is port-based), activate it on both the
VLAN and the associated port (for example, LAN5 and LAN5.1).
To enable 802.1x authentication on a LAN switch or interface:
1. Go to Device > Local Network.
2. Select the LAN interface and click Edit.
The Edit window opens in the Configuration tab.
3. In the Advanced tab, select Activate 802.1x authentication.
4. Enter a time for Re-authentication frequency (in seconds).
5. Click Apply
To enable 802.1x authentication on a tag based VLAN interface:
1. Go to Device > Local Network.
2. Select the LAN and click New > VLAN.
The New VLAN window opens in the Configuration tab.
3. For Assigned to: select the LAN ID.
4. In the Advanced tab, select Activate 802.1x authentication.
5. Enter a time for Re-authentication frequency (in seconds).
6. Click Apply
