IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network
Access Control (PNAC). It is part of the IEEE 802.1
group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication
mechanism to the devices with LAN or WLAN.
EAP Type From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. The
available options are:
● Light weight extensible authentication protocol
(EAP-LEAP)—This is an authentication protocol used in
wireless networks and point-to-point connections. LEAP is
designed to provide more secure authentication for 802.11
WLANs (wireless local area networks) that support 802.1X
port access control.
● Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS)—It provides
client and server authentication. It is often used for
