successful 802.11 association, each client is allowed to access the network.
• When 802.1X is supported, the AP supports 802.1X authentication only for clients initiating the
802.1X authentication process (i.e., the AP does NOT initiate 802.1X authentication). For stations
initiating 802.1X, only those stations successfully authenticated are allowed to access the
network. For those stations not initiating 802.1X, access to the network is allowed after successful
802.11 association.
• When 802.1X is required, the AP enforces 802.1X authentication for all 802.11 associated
stations. If 802.1X authentication is not initiated by the station, the AP will initiate authentication.
Only those stations successfully authenticated with 802.1X are allowed to access the network.
• 802.1X does not apply to the 10/100Base-TX port.
