Customizing 802.1X Settings
NOTE Do not customize these options unless you are an experienced network
administrator or are under the guidance of an IT/support professional.
If you choose WPA as the encryption method, then you have the option to set up
the AP to act as an 802.1X proxy, using external authentication sources such as a
RADIUS server.
In 802.1X authentication, the supplicant sends access request messages along with
credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to an authenticator,
which forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. The
supplicant (client device) remains in an unauthorized state until verification has been
received. In unauthorized state, only 802.1X traffic is allowed; all other traffic, such
as DHCP and HTTP traffic, is dropped. For its wireless interfaces, the AP can serve
as the authenticator communicating between the supplicant and the authentication
server.
