802.1X Authentication
802.1X Authentication
The access point supports IEEE 802.1X (802.1X) access control for wireless
clients. This control feature prevents unauthorized access to the network by
requiring an 802.1X client application to submit user credentials for authenti-
cation. Client authentication is then verified by a RADIUS server using EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) before the access point grants client
access to the network. The 802.1X EAP packets are also used to pass dynamic
unicast session keys and static broadcast keys to wireless clients.
