3.LAN IP address: 192.168.123.254/24.

4.Set RADIUS server IP.

5.Set RADIUS server shared key.

6.Configure WEP key and 802.1X setting.

The following test will use the inbuilt 802.1X authentication method such as ,EAP_TLS, PEAP_CHAPv2(Windows XP with SP1 only), and PEAP_TLS(Windows XP with SP1 only) using the Smart Card or other Certificate of the Windows XP Professional.

3. DUT and Windows 2000 Radius Server Setup

3-1-1. Setup Windows 2000 RADIUS Server

We have to change authentication method to MD5_Challenge or using smart

card or other certificate on RADIUS server according to the test condition.

3-1-2. Setup DUT

1.Enable the 802.1X (check the “Enable checkbox“).

2.Enter the RADIUS server IP.

3.Enter the shared key. (The key shared by the RADIUS server and DUT).

4.We will change 802.1X encryption key length to fit the variable test

condition.

3-1-3. Setup Network adapter on PC

1.Choose the IEEE802.1X as the authentication method. (Fig 2)

Note.

Figure 2 is a setting picture of Windows XP without service pack 1. If users upgrade to service pack 1, then they can’t see MD5-Challenge from EAP type list any more, but they will get a new Protected EAP (PEAP) option.

2.Choose MD5-Challenge or Smart Card or other Certificate as the EAP

type.

3.If choosing use smart card or the certificate as the EAP type, we select to

use a certificate on this computer. (Fig 3)

4.We will change EAP type to fit the variable test condition.
