3). 802.1x Configuration
If 802.1x function is enabled, the switch will act as an authenticator for users
accessing network through the switch. It needs a RADIUS server for the
authentication function. Users will be asked for username and password before
network access. If the RADIUS server authenticates it, the switch will enable the
port for network access. This function is very useful for network security
application to prevent illegal users access network through the switch.
