Configuring 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
A port-based network access control uses the physical access characteristics of
IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures in order to provide a means of authenticating and
authorizing devices attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection
characteristics. It also prevents access to that port in cases where the
authentication fails. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices trying to
connect to a LAN. The Cisco RV180/RV180W acts as a supplicant in the 802.1x
authentication system.
To configure 802.1x Authentication:
STEP 1 Choose Security > 802.1x Configuration.
STEP 2 Check the Enable box to configure a port as an 802.1x supplicant.
STEP 3 Select the LAN port that should be configured as an 802.1x supplicant.
