HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual 802.1x Authentication, Other Protocols 2

Table 4.13 Other Protocols (2 of 2)

Item	Description
Enable Management	Enable or disable Telnet access and the use of FTP to
Protocols	upgrade firmware on the print server. Telnet and FTP are
	not secure protocols and device passwords may be
	intercepted.
	Enable or disable RCFG, a remote IPX configuration
	protocol used by older management tools to configure
	Novell NetWare parameters. Disabling RCFG does not
	affect direct mode printing using IPX/SPX.
	Disabling Telnet, FTP firmware upgrades, and RCFG is

802.1x Authentication

(Full-featured print servers only) This page allows you to configure 802.1X authentication settings on the Jetdirect print server as required for client authentication on your network. In addition, you can reset the 802.1X authentication settings to factory-default values.

CAUTION Use caution when changing the 802.1X authentication settings; you may lose your connection. If communication with the printer/MFP device is lost, you may need to reset the print server to a factory-default state and then reinstall the device.

For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as LAN switches) must use 802.1X protocols to control a port's access to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access, the print server may need to be configured with your 802.1X parameters prior to connection.

To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your network, you can use an isolated LAN, or a direct computer connection using a cross-over cable.

The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated configuration depend on the print server model and firmware version. Available configuration settings are listed in Table 4.14.
