GS108T - Can't login after enabling 802.1x
I’ve logged into the switch at 192.168.0.239 with the default password "password", and I am able to see the switch on the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool.
Next, I've configured 802.1x on the switch with the RADIUS server also, then enabled 802.1x and have port 8 set to Authorised, which I'm currently plugged into and still logged onto the Switch.
I've used this guide to setup 802.1x: https://kb.netgear.com/24753/How-do-I-configure-802-1X-based-authentication-on-a-smart-switch
I've then restarted the switch and successfully connected to the switch at port 8 with "EAP Success" message in Wireshark. I connect to 192.168.0.239 again and try to login with "password" as the password but I get "Login Failure" now, but I haven't changed the password, and also the switch no longer shows up on the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool but i can still connect to it at 192.168.0.239.
What's the reason I can't login to the switch anymore?
Reads like the login is going to the RADIUS server instead of the local authentication. Setup an extra "admin" user with a password of your choice on your RADIUS server to be able to login into the WebUI.

Close enough! In the end I just had to add "Local" as number 2 on the Authentication List.

Yep, completely forgot about this option!
