Enable 802.1x authentication:
802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area
networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet
network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS
or MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is used in conjunction with the 802.1X
standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed
in the dropdown menu next to the EAP option.
To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check
the checkbox.
EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):
This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The
items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup.
Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select
a Certificate. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to select a
Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 113 provides a website that
outlines how to create certificates for your network.
