802.1X PORT AUTHENTICATION
The switch supports IEEE 802.1X (dot1x) port-based access control that
prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring users to first
submit credentials for authentication. Client authentication is controlled
centrally by a RADIUS server using EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol).
