6.3 Cisco Aironet Access Point Configuration
As stated in sections 3 and 4, the access point can be configured to be a network access server for the 802.1x
authentication process. The access point is capable of “understanding” and translating from 802.1x to RADIUS
protocol (to communicate with the AAA server). However, the access point is not “aware” of the type of 802.1x
authentication process taking place (that is, it does not know whether it is LEAP, EAP-TLS, or EAP MD5). This
section details the required configuration on the access point to support the 802.1x authentication process.
The following procedure was used to configure the access points for 802.1x authentication in the Validation Lab:
1. Using the Web browser (as shown in Figure 6-10), verify that the access point version is 11.06 or later.
