Port Authentication
The Port Authentication page enables configuration of 802.1X parameters for each port. Since
some of the configuration changes are only possible while the port is in Force Authorized state,
such as host authentication, it is recommended that you change the port control to Force
Authorized before making changes. When the configuration is complete, return the port control to
its previous state.
Note—A port with 802.1x defined on it cannot become a member of a LAG.
To configure 802.1X authentication:
1. Click Security > Network Access Control > Port Authentication.
This page displays authentication settings for all ports.
The Current Port Control displays the current port authorization state. If the state is
A
uthorized, the port is either authenticated or the Administrative Port Control is Forc
e
Authorized. Conversely, if the state is Unauthorized, then the port is either not
a
uthenticated or the Administrative Port Control is Force Unauthorized.
