CHAPTER 10
802.1x Configuration
Introduction
This chapter will explain the process of configuring the server for
802.1x and using CA Certificates for authorization.
Background
The IEEE 802.1x standard defines a Layer 2, port-based network
access control scheme that provides authenticated network
access on wireless Ethernet networks. The ability of a device to
transmit and receive data over an Ethernet switch port is denied if
the authentication process is unsuccessful. This standard was
originally developed for traditional wired networks and has been
successfully adapted for use with wireless networks.
