GS305EP and 802.1X access control
Hello,
I'm trying to configure 802.1X access control on a GS305EP switch.
According to this page it should be available. But the configuration page looks completely different than the screenshots in the explanation page.
I tried looking for it, but can't seem to find the 802.1X access control settings.
Firmware version V1.0.0.10.

If it isn't available for the Plus Switches GS3xxEP/EPP, it is no problem, I can use a different switch. But I do not trust the list of compatible switches.
The "Applies to" is more a reference at time of the KB entry creation than a complete list of switch models supporting 802.1x.

Can't find any list or more comprehensive overview.
All "Plus" switches should be left out of scope, because there is no 802.1x implemented as shown.
For consulting exact features supported, I suggest to review the complete product description Briefly scrolling over shows that 802.1x availability does start on small switches like the GS108Tv3, GS110TPv3, and the GS110TPP 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet
Smart Managed Pro Switch, some are PoE+ equipped, some come with SFP ports, many or all come with the optional Cloud Management.

This KB reference to the Plus switches "E" models for 802.1x access control in the must be wrong (or fully new to me).
Hello lodesmets,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
Can you share us where did you see that it says GS305EP supports 802.1x? Because when checking the data sheet I could not find statements that it supports 802.1x.
Have a lovely day,

Dear Logan,
Here is the reference - wrong in my opinion:
The mistake is in the reference to the Plus Switches GS3xxEP/EPP:
Yes, indeed. I saw it here
It says that the article is applicable to the Plus Switches GS3xxEP/EPP.
If it isn't available for the Plus Switches GS3xxEP/EPP, it is no problem, I can use a different switch. But I do not trust the list of compatible switches.
So is there a correct list of 802.1X compatible switches?
