Step 8 IAS Configuration
Step 9 HP Jetdirect 802.1X Configuration
Now we can discuss the HP Jetdirect configuration for 802.1X. First, we will install the HP Jetdirect
Certificate and the CA Certificate on the HP Jetdirect device. The HP Jetdirect certificates are used by
SSL, IPsec, as well as 802.1X EAP authentication. Because multiple authentication methods use these
certificates, we created the certificates using the certificate template to act as both a client and server.
One of the challenges of 802.1X configuration on HP Jetdirect print server is that there is no out-of-
band mechanism to configure 802.1X. As a result, we must connect the HP Jetdirect print server to a
non-802.1X port first, then configure the 802.1X settings, then move the HP Jetdirect to an 802.1X
port on the switch.
