I. Network requirements 
z  Authenticate users on all ports to control their accesses to the Internet. The switch 
operates in MAC address-based access control mode. The access control mode 
is MAC-address-based. 
z  All supplicant systems that pass the authentication belong to the default domain 
named “aabbcc.net”. The domain can accommodate up to 30 users. As for 
authentication, a supplicant system is authenticated locally if the RADIUS server 
fails. And as for accounting, a supplicant system is disconnected by force if the 
RADIUS server fails. The name of an authenticated supplicant system is not 
suffixed with the domain name. A connection is terminated if the total size of the 
data passes through it during a period of 20 minutes is less than 2,000 bytes. All 
connected clients belong to the same default domain: aabbcc.net, which 
accommodates up to 30 clients. Authentication is performed either on the RADIUS 
server, or locally ( in case that the RADIUS server fails to respond). A client is 
disconnected in one of the following two situations: RADIUS accounting fails; the 
connected user has not included the domain name in the username, and there is a 
continuous below 2000 bytes of traffic for over 20 minutes. 
z  The switch is connected to a server comprising of two RADIUS servers whose IP 
addresses are 10.11.1.1 and 10.11.1.2. The RADIUS server with an IP address of 
10.11.1.1 operates as the primary authentication server and the secondary 
accounting server. The other operates as the secondary authentication server and 
primary accounting server. The password for the switch and the authentication 
RADIUS servers to exchange message is “name”. And the password for the switch 
and the accounting RADIUS servers to exchange message is “money”. The switch 
sends another packet to the RADIUS servers again if it sends a packet to the 
RADIUS server and does not receive response for 5 seconds with a maximum
