    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.
