z Role – There are three different roles when machine authentication is
enabled as described above – the User Authentication Default Role,
the Machine Authentication Default Role and the Default role. The
three can be the same but would be preferable to define the roles as per
the polices that need to be enforced as explained above. (Refer to docu-
ment on firewall policies to configure roles)
z Authentication Server – The authentication server the switch would
use to validate the users. Verify that the authentication server supports
802.1x. Most LDAP servers do not. The Internal Server does not sup-
port 802.1x either. (Refer to document on Configuring AAA servers to
configure the authentication server)
z AP encryption – Identify the SSID that the 802.1x user will use and set
the opmode to dynamic WEP or dynamic TKIP. (Refer Wireless LAN set-
ting document to configure the AP encryption mode).
1. Navigate to the
Configuration > Security > Authentication Methods > 802.1x

page.
