8.4.12 IEEE 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is a standard for network access control (port-based), which was introduced especially for distributing encryption keys in a wireless network. The AccessPoint supports 802.1x for keeping out unauthorized users and for verifying the credentials of users with RADIUS so that authorized users can access the network and services.

To use 802.1x, you will need at least one common Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method on your authentication server, APs (authenticator) and stations (supplicant). 802.1x is also used to perform generation and distribution of encryption keys from AP to the station as part of or after the authentication process. A further factor here is dynamic WEP, which is based on legacy RC4 WEP encryption and is available in this Ac- cessPoint under the setting for enabling 802.1x security in as- sociation with disabled Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) set- tings. There are two options for the key length, i.e. 40 and 104 bits. The longer the key length, the greater security it will offer.

APPLICATION

802.1x and Radius Server:

An 802.1x client needs to be combined with a Radius server. The server acts as an authenti- cation authority, the Access- Point as an authenticator and the client as supplicant.

Windows XP already comes with integrated 802.1x capabili- ties and can therefore be used directly in combination with a Radius server.
