802.1X access control
Network access control admits a device to a switch port when it holds a Skans-issued certificate. Enroll your devices first: see Install & approve the Windows agent and Enroll a device.
1. Add each switch or access point #
On the console Network page, add each switch or access point with its name, IP address and shared secret. Then set the same shared secret and the appliance address on the switch, and turn on 802.1X for its ports.
2. Confirm admissions #
The Network page lists recent admissions with the device, the switch that sent it, and whether it was accepted or rejected. Use it to confirm a segment is working.
Isolate or open a port #
On a device’s page, an operator with the network permission can choose Isolate or Open port. Both ask you to confirm.
