Step 6 Enter the number of seconds the access point should wait before authentication
fails. If the server does not respond within this time, the access point tries to
contact the next authentication server in the list if one is specified. Other backup
servers are used in list order when the previous server times out.
Step 7 Select EAP Authentication under the server. The EAP Authentication check box
designates the server as an authenticator for any EAP type, including Cisco
Aironet LEAP, EAP-TLS, and EAP-MD5.
Step 8 Click OK. You return automatically to the Security Setup page.
Step 9 On the Security Setup page, click Radio Data Encryption (WEP) to browse to
the AP Radio Data Encryption page.
Step 10 Select Network-EAP for the Authentication Type setting to allow EAP-enabled
client devices to authenticate through the access point.
Select Require EAP under Open or Shared Key to allow client devices with
EAP-TLS or EAP-MD5 enabled through Windows XP to authenticate through the
access point. If you do not select Require EAP, client devices with EAP enabled
through Windows XP authenticate to the access point but might not perform
mutual EAP authentication with your RADIUS server. LEAP-enabled Cisco
Aironet client devices perform LEAP authentication through the access point even
if you do not select Require EAP.
Note When you select Require EAP, you block client devices that are not using
EAP from authenticating through the access point.
Table 4-4 lists the access point settings that provide authentication for various
client devices.
