802.1x Port-Based Authentication is an IEEE standard designed to provide authentication for devices attempting to connect to a network. 802.1x is a subset of the IEEE 802.1 group or protocols and is compatible with both LANs and WLANs. When 802.1x Port-Based Authentication is enabled on a FLEX24-10Gs interface, any connected clients will not have network access until their identity has been verified.
The FLEX24-10G does not perform the authentication process; the authentication is done by a separate RADIUS server configured to handle 802.1x requests.
Requirements for 802.1x Authentication
- 802.1x enabled on the FLEX24-10G
- 802.1x enabled on client device attempting to access network
- RADIUS server with network connectivity to the FLEX24-10G
The above three requirements should be configured before one can use the 802.1X authentication. All of the commands needed to configure the above are explained in our Admin Guide in detail.
Refer to the Admin Guide for all the advanced settings available in the switch. You’ll find additional resources like the Datasheet, Admin Guide, A&E spec sheet, etc on the product page here.
