To configure IEEE 802.1X settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration and then Remote Configuration >
Network Settings > 802.1X. The 802.1X window appears.
2. Select Enable IEEE 802.1X. It is disabled by default.
3. Configure the 802.1X settings. Select the protocol EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS.
EAP-PEAP:
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) fully encapsulates EAP and is
designed to work within a TLS (Transport Layer Security) tunnel that may be
encrypted but is authenticated. The primary motivation behind the creation of PEAP
was to help correct the deficiencies discovered within EAP since that protocol
assumes that the communications channel are protected.
- or -
EAP-TLS:
EAP-TLS (EAP Transport Layer Security) was subsequently defined by IETF RFC
5216. The protocol was created as an open standard leveraging the TLS (Transport
Layer Security) protocol and it primarily consists of the original EAP authentication
protocol.
4. Configure the remaining 802.1X settings.
