6.4 Configuring 802.1x EAP Settings
The IEEE 802.1x standard ties the 802.1x EAP authentication protocol to both wired and wireless LAN
applications.
The EAP process begins when an unauthenticated supplicant (client device) tries to connect with an
authenticator (in this case, the authentication server). The access point passes EAP packets from the
client to an authentication server on the wired side of the access point. All other packet types are
blocked until the authentication server (typically, a Radius server) verifies the MU’s identity.
To configure 802.1x EAP authentication on the access point:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the access point menu tree.
If security policies supporting 802.1x EAP exist, they appear within the Security
Configuration screen. These existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited
by clicking the Edit button. To configure a new security policy supporting 802.1x EAP,
continue to step 2.
2. Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting 802.1x EAP.
WPA2/CCMP
(802.11i)
Select the WPA2/CCMP (802.11) button to display the WPA2/
CCMP Settings field within the New Security Policy screen. For
detailed information on configuring WPA2/CCMP, see Configuring
WPA2-CCMP (802.11i) on page 6-11.
