  • Page 14: 802.1X Setting

    802.1x Setting 802.1x is an authentication protocol for a “WPA” certificate to an authentication server. Shown as figure 14-14 Authentication type: 1. PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authenti- cates data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplify- ing the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.
  • Page 15 802.1x Setting 3. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for certificate- based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates. 4. LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type used pri- marily in Cisco Aironet WLANs.

  • Page 16: Ca Server

    CA Server Depending on the EAP in use, only the server or both the server and client may be authen- ticated and require a certificate. Server certificates identify a server, usually an authentica- tion or RADIUS server to clients. Most EAPs require a certificate issued by a root authority or a trusted commercial Certificate Authority.
