7 Common Advanced Network Settings
L The conguration settings described in this section are not mandatory.
Network Access Control
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access
Control (PNAC). By “port” we mean a single point of attachment to the
LAN infrastructure. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices
wishing to attach to a LAN, either establishing a point-to-point connection
or preventing it if authentication fails.
802.1X Network Access Control is congured from the IP station web
interface.
● Select Advanced Network > 802.1X from the menu.
The radio-button list lets the user choose the authentication method to
congure.
The different authentication methods are:
● MSCHAPV2
● MD5
● TTLS with PAP
● PEAP with MSCHAPV2.
MSCHAPV2 and MD5 will encrypt the password.
TTLS with PAP and PEAP with MSCHAPV2 will encrypt both the
Username and Password.
The parameters to congure depend on the authentication method:
802.1X status: Enable or disable 802.1X.
Username: The user name that identies a station.
Password: The password associated with the user name.
Fake username: The fake user name sent outside of encrypted tunnel
with TTLS with PAP and PEAP with MSCHAPV2. The user name is
encrypted.
If TTLS with PAP or PEAP with MSCHAPV2 is chosen, a certicate
must be uploaded to the station by clicking Browse. The certicate must
either be in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) or Distinguished Encoding
Rules (DER) format, and it must be named certicate.pem.
● Click Save to save the current settings
● Click Reboot
- The new 802.1X settings will only come into effect after the reboot.
