UTHENTICATION
3-61
Each client that needs to be authenticated must have dot1x client
software installed and properly configured.
The RADIUS server and 802.1x client support EAP. (The switch only
supports EAPOL in order to pass the EAP packets from the server to
the client.)
The RADIUS server and client also have to support the same EAP
authentication type. The current version of the firmware supports only
the EAP-MD5 authetication type. (Some clients have native support in
Windows, otherwise the dot1x client must support it.)
