• Multi 802.1X
• MAC-Based Auth.
If a client is denied access - either because the RADIUS server denies the client
access or because the RADIUS server request times out (according to the timeout
specified on the "Configuration→Security→AAA" page) - the client is put on hold in
the Un-authorized state. The hold timer does not count during an on-going
authentication.
In MAC-based Auth. mode, the switch will ignore new frames coming from the
client during the hold time.
The Hold Time can be set to a number between 10 and 1000000 seconds.
Port Configuration :
The table has one row for each port on the selected switch and a number of
columns, which are:
Port :
The port number for which the configuration below applies.
Admin State :
If NAS is globally enabled, this selection controls the port's authentication mode.
The following modes are available:
Force Authorized :
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Success frame when the port link
comes up, and any client on the port will be allowed network access without
authentication.
Force Unauthorized :
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Failure frame when the port link
comes up, and any client on the port will be disallowed network access.
Port-based 802.1X :
In the 802.1X-world, the user is called the supplicant, the switch is the authenticator,
and the RADIUS server is the authentication server. The authenticator acts as the
man-in-the-middle, forwarding requests and responses between the supplicant and
the authentication server. Frames sent between the supplicant and the switch are
