To define port-based authentication:
1.
Click
Configuration > Security > Network Access Control > Feature Configuration.

disabled 802.1X is disabled.
Authentication MethodSelect the user authentication methods. The options
are as follows:
o
RADIUS, NonePerform port authentication first by using the RADIUS
server. If no response is received from RADIUS (for example, if the server is
down), then no authentication is performed, and the session is permitted.
o

authentication is performed, the session is not permitted.
o
