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).
