3.11.1.3 Port Authentication
Delta switch can act as an authenticator in the 802.1X environment. You can either use an external
authentication server, or implement the authentication server in the Delta switch by using a Local
User Database.
There are three components used to create a port-based authentication mechanism based on
802.1X:
Supplicant: The end of the station that requests to access LAN resource and switch services.
Authentication Server: The external server that performs the actual authentication of the
supplicant, for example, a RADIUS server. It performs the authentication to indicate whether the
user is authorized to access services.
Authenticator: It acts as a proxy between the supplicant and authentication server. This kind of role
is usually the edge switch or wireless AP. It requests identity information from the supplicant, verifies
the information with the authentication server, and relay a response to the supplicant.
