Command Line Interface

When 802.1x is supported, the access point supports 802.1x authentication only for clients initiating the 802.1x authentication process (i.e., the access point does NOT initiate 802.1x authentication). For stations initiating 802.1x, only those stations successfully authenticated are allowed to access the network. For those stations not initiating 802.1x, access to the network is allowed after successful 802.11 association.

When 802.1x is required, the access point enforces 802.1x authentication for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1x authentication is not initiated by the station, the access point will initiate authentication. Only those stations successfully authenticated with 802.1x are allowed to access the network.

802.1x does not apply to the 10/100Base-TX port.
