If you need decent port-level access security MACsec is the only standard choice. Netgear firmware update collects your IP and MAC addresses. Unless combined with additional measures it's hardly worth the trouble - a half-wit can circumvent basic authentication in moments. Download firmware 2) Log in to your Netgear switch via the web CLI. That is probably not what you want.Ĩ02.1X isn't very secure to start with. The effect of that pass-through is that the first client on the GS608v3 authenticates the upstream switch's port and all other clients are free to join.
Likely, the only thing those unmanaged switches differ in is their behavior of passing through 802.1X authentication frames - which the v3 appears to do and the v2 doesn't. You need to set up those ports to disallow multiple clients in order to make 802.1X halfway secure. Obviously, you need to connect the clients to the managed switch ports directly, with no intermediate hub or switch - which you need to actively prevent.
Likely, those switches authenticate their entire uplink which completely defies the intention of port authentication.Ĩ02.1X doesn't and can't authenticate end nodes (unless augmented by MAC authentication which is only a marginal improvement due to the inherent impossibility to rely on MAC addresses).įor 802.1X to work correctly, managed switches as authenticators are required for the client ports.
They can't work correctly with 802.1X which is a port authentication protocol on the network edge.
