Port Authentication
In port-based authentication mode, when 802.1X is enabled globally and on the port, successful
authentication of any one supplicant attached to the port results in all users being able to use the
port without restrictions. At any given time, only one supplicant is allowed to attempt
authentication on a port in this mode. Ports in this mode are under bidirectional control. This is the
default authentication mode.

Field Description
Rule Type Select Permit to allow access to the switch administrative pages for
traffic that meets the criteria you configure for the rule. Any traffic that
does not meet the rules is denied.
Select Deny to prohibit access to the switch administrative pages for

Source IP Address Enter Source IP Address of the client originating the management
traffic. Fill in the “Source IP address” in the text box provided.
Mask Enter the subnet mask associated with the IP address.
Priority Configure priority to the rule. The rules are validated against the
incoming management request in the ascending order of their priorities.
If a rule matches, action is performed and subsequent rules below are
ignored. For example, if a Source IP 10.10.10.10 is configured with
priority 1 to permit, and Source IP 10.10.10.10 is configured with
priority 2 to Deny, then access is permitted if the profile is active, and
the second rule is ignored.
