Authentication Description
EAP/TLS
(see Figure 8-6)
EAP/TLS is an authentication scheme through IEEE 802.1x, ensuring only valid users can connect to the network. It also restricts
unauthorized users from accessing transmitted information. EAP/TLS achieves this through secure authentication certificates.
PEAP
(see Figure 8-7)
Select this option to enable PEAP authentication. This method uses a digital certificate to verify and authenticate a user's identity.
