802.1x port-based authentication provides RADIUS client authentication and data encryption

features (see

Appendix C, “802.1x Port-Based Authentication Overview”). If you have a

RADIUS server on your network, you can have authentication of port access done through the

RADIUS server. This does affect traffic passing through the switch, which can be helpful is

securing your network from wireless eavesdropping when a wireless access point is connected to

the switch. To enable 802.1x, provide the IP address of the RADIUS server, and the shared secret

authentication key. The re-authorization timer determines how frequently the session will refresh

the data encryption with a new key.
