III-6-2. SECURITY – 802.1X
802.1X is an IEEE standard defined Port-based Network Access Control. It provides a more secured
authentication mechanism for the devices, which would like to connect to a LAN or a WAN. The
Port-based Network Access Control protocol is a convenient method for the users because the
authentication is per-port and once the port passes the authentication, it is not required to authenticate
again when changing to another device, i.e., without security. Therefore, MAC-based access control is
provided. It is a more secure, but less convenient method for authentication. Only the device with the
MAC Address that has passed the authentication can be added to the networks. These two methods are
optional on each port and the users can select one of them on different ports.

Basic Settings
。 802.1X Mode
“Enable” or “Disable” 802.1X function on the switch.
。 Server Type
Select the 802.1X server type to “Local Database” or “RADIUS Server”.
Local Database: The database is maintained in a table stored in the switch. The client has to send
the username and password to authenticate with the switch’s database.
RADIUS Server: The database is maintained in other devices running RADIUS service. The
authentication follows the RADIUS protocol including communication and encryption.
