Using Port Access Control
EDS-726 provides two kinds of Port-Base Access Control. One is IEE 802.1X and the other is
Static Port Lock.
IEEE 802.1X
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a protocol for client/server-based access control and
authentication. The protocol restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through ports
that are open to the Internet, and which otherwise would be readily accessible. The purpose of the
authentication server is to check each client that requests access to the port. The client is only
allowed access to the port if the client’s permission is authenticated.
Static Port Lock
EDS-726 can also be configured to protect static MAC addresses for a specific port. With the Port
Lock function, these locked ports will not learn any additional addresses, but only allow traffic
from preset static MAC addresses, helping to block hackers and careless usage.
The IEEE802.1X Concept
Three components are used to create an authentication mechanism based on 802.1X standards:
Client/Supplicant, Authentication Server, and Authenticator.
Supplicant: The end station that requests access to the LAN and switch services and responds to
the requests from the switch.
Authentication server: The server that performs the actual authentication of the supplicant.
