ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 150
802.1x Authentication
(Full-featured print servers only) This page allows you to configure
802.1X authentication settings on the Jetdirect print server as
required for client authentication on your network. In addition, you
can reset the 802.1X authentication settings to factory-default
values.
CAUTION Use caution when changing the 802.1X
authentication settings; you may lose your
connection. If communication with the
printer/MFP device is lost, you may need to reset
the print server to a factory-default state and then
reinstall the device.
For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as
LAN switches) must use 802.1X protocols to control a port's access
to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access,
the print server may need to be configured with your 802.1X
parameters prior to connection.
To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your
network, you can use an isolated LAN, or a direct computer
connection using a cross-over cable.
The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated
configuration depend on the print server model and firmware
version. Available configuration settings are listed in Table 4.14
.
Enable Management
Protocols
Enable or disable Telnet access and the use of FTP to
upgrade firmware on the print server. Telnet and FTP are
not secure protocols and device passwords may be
intercepted.
Enable or disable RCFG, a remote IPX configuration
protocol used by older management tools to configure
Novell NetWare parameters. Disabling RCFG does not
affect direct mode printing using IPX/SPX.
Disabling Telnet, FTP firmware upgrades, and RCFG is
recommended.
