Configuration of 802.1x network access control on the authenticator consists of two parts:
generic parameters, which are configured under config>system>security>dot1x
See the Basic System Configuration Guide, ‟System Command Reference”.
port-specific parameters, which are configured under config>port>ethernet>dot1x
802.1x provides access to the port for any device, even if only a single client has been authenticated. Additionally, it can only be used to gain access to a predefined Service Access Point (SAP). It is not possible to dynamically select a service (such as a VPLS service) depending on the 802.1x authentication information.
