802.1x Authentication Application Guide
Introduction of 802.1x authentication function
IEEE 802.1x derives keys which can be used to provide per-packet authentication, integrity and
confidentially. Typically use along with well-known key derivation algorithms (e.g. TLS, SRP,
MD5-Challenge, etc.). In our industrial switch (VX-IGP-1204F), we support 802.1x authentication
function per port (port1~port10). You should enable 802.1x function of the system, and choose ports
and type you want to apply. If VX-IGP-1204F enable 802.1x authentication control for certain Ethernet
port, this port should be authenticated before using any service from the network. Please see the
following description.

Item
Parameter (sec)
Description
1
ReAuth Period
VX-IGP-1204F will restart authentication after each Reauth-Period when
authentication success and ReAuth option is enabled
2
Quiet Period
VX-IGP-1204F will wait QuietPeriod to restart authentication process
again when authentication failed in previous time.
3
Tx Period
VX-IGP-1204F will send EAP-request to Supplicant every TxPeriod when
authentication is running and Quiet Period is not running.
4
Supplicant Timeout
VX-IGP-1204F will wait SupplicantTmeout to receive response from
Supplicant.
5
Server Timeout
VX-IGP-1204F will wait ServerTimeout to receive response from RADIUS
server.
Configuration in RADIUS Server
Step 1: Prepare a Linux PC with RADIUS server installed.
