802.1X
The 802.1X tab helps you to edit the 802.1X details of the ports.
Wireless Network Manager also provides the 802.1X MAB authentication, an access control technique to authenticate the client devices. The 802.1x MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) allows a device without an 802.1x supplicant running on it to authenticate against RADIUS via MAC address. This uses the MAC Address of a device to determine the network access to be provided to the hosts.
To enable the MAB authentication ensure that the switch is Online and the 802.1X is always enabled in the System Tab.
You need to add radius server before using 802.1X.
If you select MAB mode, the authenticate host is MAB only. If you select Hybrid mode, the authenticate host is EAP but if the host does not support EAP mode, it falls back to MAB mode. If you select Disable, the authenticate host is EAP only.
Multi-authentication/multi-host is supported only when the authentication mode is MAC-Based, and not when the authentication mode is Port-Based.
You can edit all the following options from this tab:
-
Mode
-
Auth Mode
-
Re-authentication
-
Re-authentication Period
-
Quiet Period
-
Supplicant Period
-
Max Retry
