Customizing 802.1X Settings
CAUTION! 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, you have the option to set up the
Access Point to act as an 802.1X proxy, utilizing 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 Access Point
can serve as the authenticator communicating between the supplicant and the
authentication server.
