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.
Available settings are explained as follows:
