The 802.1x Port Access Page contains the following fields:
• Enable Port Access — Enables the 802.1x port access globally. The possible values are:
– Checked — Enables the 802.1x port access on the device.
– Unchecked — Disables the 802.1x port access on the device. This is the default value.
• Authentication Method — Displays the method by which the last session was authenticated. The possible
field values are:
– None — Indicates that no authentication method is used to authenticate the port.
– RADIUS — Provides port authentication using the RADIUS server.
– RADIUS, None — Provides port authentication, first using the RADIUS server. If the port is not
authenticated, then no authentication method is used, and the session is permitted.

port-based authorization, but the Guest VLAN field is enabled, the port receives limited network access.
