The following 802.1x Authentication methods are supported:
•EAP-MD5
•EAP-TLS
•PEAPv0
•MSCHAPv2
Certificate Repository
Implementation of 802.1x Authentication requires a certificate, which is obtained from the
Certificate Repository.
• Either one TLS certificate is retrieved for all IP services and their associated NICs,
— If one certificate is retrieved for all NICs, the RMX will use the Management
Certificate for all the NICs.
or
• A TLS certificate for each IP service and their associated NICs is retrieved from the
Certificate Repository:
— If several different TLS certificates are retrieved, each NIC will use the certificate of
the service that it is associated with.
• In a system configured with Multiple Network Services each IP service will use
its own certificate.
•A NIC that does not have its own certificate will first attempt to use the
Management Certificate before using a self-signed certificate.
Enabling and Configuring 802.1x Authentication
802.1x Authentication for each NIC is enabled or disabled in the Setup > Ethernet Settings
dialog box. The following additional table columns are used to modify these parameters:
• 802.1x Authentication
• User Name
• Password
• For RMX 2000, Network Separation must be implemented before configuring 802.1x
Authentication
.
•
802.1x Authentication is not supported in Microsoft environments.
