Security—How to Configure 802.1x EAP Authentication

3.Click the 802.1x EAP Configuration button to display a sub-screen for specific authentication settings.

4.Check the Enable Reauthentication check box to enable this authentication method.

5.Set the EAP reauthentication period to match the appropriate level of security. A shorter time interval (~ 30 seconds or longer) provides tighter security on this WLAN’s wireless connections. A longer interval (5000-9999 seconds) relaxes security on wireless connections. The reauthentication period setting does not affect a wireless connection’s throughput. The engaged access port continues to forward traffic during the reauthentication process.
