Enable 802.1X authentication

“802.1X” is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area net- works. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or MD5 encap- sulated in an “EAP” is used in conjunction with the “802.1X” standard to authenti- cate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the dropdown menu next to the ‘EAP’ option.

To activate “802.1X”, tap on the checkbox next to ‘Enable 802.1X authentica- tion’, and press the [SPACE] key to enable it.

EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):

This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup. Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select a ‘Certificate’. By select- ing the Properties button, you will be able to select a Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 90 provides a website that outlines how to create certificates for your network.
