Security mode Description Feature
userlogin
In this mode, port-based 802.1x authentication
is performed for access users.
In this mode, neither NTK
nor intrusion protection
will be triggered.
userLoginSecure
MAC-based 802.1x authentication is
performed on the access user. The port is
enabled only after the authentication
succeeds. When the port is enabled, only the
packets of the successfully authenticated user
can pass through the port.
In this mode, only one 802.1x-authenticated
user is allowed to access the port.
When the port changes from the
noRestriction mode to this security mode, the
system automatically removes the existing
dynamic MAC address entries and
authenticated MAC address entries on the
port.
userLoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the userLoginSecure
mode, except that there can be more than one
802.1x-authenticated user on the port.
userLoginWithOUI
This mode is similar to the userLoginSecure
mode, except that, besides the packets of the
single 802.1x-authenticated user, the packets
whose source MAC addresses have a
particular OUI are also allowed to pass
through the port.
When the port changes from the normal mode
to this security mode, the system
automatically removes the existing
dynamic/authenticated MAC address entries
on the port.
macAddressWithRa
dius
In this mode, MAC address–based
authentication is performed for access users.
macAddressOrUser
LoginSecure
In this mode, both MAC authentication and
802.1x authentication can be performed, but
802.1x authentication has a higher priority.
802.1x authentication can still be performed
on an access user who has passed MAC
authentication.
No MAC authentication is performed on an
access user who has passed 802.1x
authentication.
In this mode, there can be only one
802.1x-authenticated user on the port, but
there can be several MAC-authenticated
users.
macAddressOrUser
LoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the
macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode,
except that there can be more than one
802.1x-authenticated user on the port. .
In any of these modes, the
device triggers the NTK
and Intrusion Protection
features upon detecting
an illegal packet or illegal
event.
