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 access point enforces 802.1x
authentication for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1x
authentication is not initiated by the station, the access point
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.
