IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part
of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism for
the device that is attached to a LAN or WLAN.
Wired 802.1x provides authentication for one network device on each LAN port. The
RADIUS Server settings must be configured before enabling 802.1x because the EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) Authenticator relies on the RADIUS Server in its
authentication process. Each LAN port with Wired 802.1x configured will only forward
802.1x packets and block all other packets until the authentication has successfully completed.
Note: P5 is not supported by Vigor2925F/Vigor2925Fn.
