Network [1..1] IEEE8021X Eap Md5

Set the Md5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) mode. This is a Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol that relies on a shared secret. Md5 is a Weak security.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: The EAP-MD5 protocol is enabled (default).

Off: The EAP-MD5 protocol is disabled.

Example: Network 1 IEEE8021X Eap Md5: On

Network [1..1] IEEE8021X Eap Ttls

Set the TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security) mode. Authenticates LAN clients without the need for client certificates. Developed by Funk Software and Certicom. Usually supported by Agere Systems, Proxim and Avaya.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: The EAP-TTLS protocol is enabled (default).

Off: The EAP-TTLS protocol is disabled.

Example: Network 1 IEEE8021X Eap Ttls: On

Network [1..1] MTU

Set the Ethernet MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <576..1500>

Range: Select a value from 576 to 1500 bytes.

Example: Network 1 MTU: 1500

Network [1..1] Speed

Set the Ethernet link speed.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Auto/10half/10full/100half/100full/1000full> Auto: Autonegotiate link speed.

10half: Force link to 10 Mbps half-duplex.

10full: Force link to 10 Mbps full-duplex.

100half: Force link to 100 Mbps half-duplex.

100full: Force link to 100 Mbps full-duplex.

1000full: Force link to 1 Gbps full-duplex.

Example: Network 1 Speed: Auto

Network [1..1] IEEE8021X Eap Tls

Enable or disable the use of EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) for IEEE802.1x connections. The EAP-TLS protocol, defined in RFC5216, is considered one of the most secure EAP standards. LAN clients are authenticated using client certificates.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Off/On>

Off: The EAP-TLS protocol is disabled.

On: The EAP-TLS protocol is enabled (default).

Example: Network 1 IEEE8021X Eap Tls: On

Network [1..1] TrafficControl Mode

Set the network traffic control mode to decide how to control the video packets transmission speed.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: Transmit video packets at maximum 20 Mbps. Can be used to smooth out bursts in the outgoing network traffic.

Off: Transmit video packets at link speed.

Example: Network 1 TrafficControl: On

Network [1..1] IEEE8021X Eap Peap

Set the Peap (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) mode. Authenticates LAN clients without the need for client certificates. Developed by Microsoft, Cisco and RSA Security.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: The EAP-PEAP protocol is enabled (default).

Off: The EAP-PEAP protocol is disabled.

Example: Network 1 IEEE8021X Eap Peap: On

Network [1..1] RemoteAccess Allow

Filter IP addresses for access to ssh/telnet/HTTP/HTTPS.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 255>

Format: String with a maximum of 255 characters, comma separated IP adresses or IP range. Example: Network 1 RemoteAccess Allow: "192.168.1.231, 192.168.1.182"
