Port Authentication (802.1X) Commands
An authentication server must authenticate a client connected to an 802.1X switch port. Until the authentication, only Extensible
Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) trac is allowed through the port to which a client is connected. After authentication is
successful, normal trac passes through the port.
Dell Networking OS supports RADIUS and Active Directory environments using 802.1X Port Authentication.
