2.11.4 IEEE 802.1X

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network access
control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and
enable 802.1x settings.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication
to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and
server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails, access on that port will
be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate
communication.
The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:
Supplicant
(KX-NTV150)
1.
Supplicant: A client end user (KX-NTV150/KX-NTV160), which requests authentication.
2.
Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A "go between" which restricts unauthorized end users from
communicating with the authentication server.
3.
Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to
accept the end user's access request.
KX-NTV150/KX-NTV160 support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAPPEAP and
EAP-TLS.
