[ Network Security > 802.1X Port Authentication ]
With the port-based access control according to IEEE 802.1X, the device monitors the access to
the network from connected end devices. The device (authenticator) lets an end device (supplicant)
have access to the network if it logs in with valid login data. The authenticator and the end devices
communicate via the EAPoL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LANs) authentication
protocol.
The device supports the following methods to authenticate end devices:
 radius
A RADIUS server in the network authenticates the end devices.
 ias
The Integrated Authentication Server (IAS) implemented in the device authenticates the end
devices. Compared to RADIUS, the IAS provides only basic functions.
The menu contains the following dialogs:
 802.1X Global
 802.1X Port Configuration
 802.1X Port Clients
 802.1X EAPOL Port Statistics
 802.1X Port Authentication History
 802.1X Integrated Authentication Server
