Using IEEE 802.1x authentication 5

You can configure IEEE 802.1x authentication for a wired.

To use IEEE 802.1x authentication, you must install a certificate issued by a CA. Contact your network

administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether a CA certificate import is necessary. (For how

to install a certificate, see Using Certificates for device security on page 39.)

IEEE 802.1x authentication configuration using Web Based Management (web

browser) 5

If you are configuring IEEE 802.1x authentication for a wired network using Web Based Management, follow

the instructions.

You can also configure IEEE 802.1x authentication using:

 BRAdmin Professional 3

Note

• If you configure your machine using EAP-TLS Authentication, you must install the Client Certificate before

you start configuration. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend you write down the

certificate you want to use. For installing the certificate, see Using Certificates for device security

on page 39.

• Before you verify the Server Certificate, you must import the CA certificate that has been issued by the CA

that signed the Server Certificate. Contact your system administrator about the CA certificate. For

importing the certificate, see Import and export a CA certificate on page 49.

• For the details of each certificate, see Using Certificates for device security on page 39.

a Start your web browser.

b Type “http://machine’s IP address/” into your browser (where “machine’s IP address” is

the machine’s IP address).

 For example:

http://192.168.1.2/

Note

• If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can enter another name such

as “Shared_Printer” instead of the IP address.

• For example:

http://Shared_Printer/

If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

• For example:

http://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network Configuration List. (To learn how to print the Network

Configuration List, see Printing the Network Configuration List on page 12.)
