Netgear M5300-28G-POE+ (GSM7228PSv1h2) - 12-Port Managed Gigabit Switch Softwarehandbuch

The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect 
immediately.

In port-based authentication, 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.

The 802.1X network has three components: 

. The port that is authenticated before permitting system access. 

. The host connected to the authenticated port requesting access to the 

system services.

. The external server, for example, the RADIUS server that 

performs the authentication on behalf of the authenticator, and indicates whether the user 
is authorized to access system services.
