● 802.1x (Radius)
Port-related access check over an external RADIUS server (IEEE 802.1x). With
this method, the client logs on at a RADIUS server based on a certificate (EAP-
TLS) or a combination of user name and password (EAP-PEAP or EAP-TTLS /
internal authentication method MSCHAPv2). As an option, the RADIUS server
then identifies itself to the client using a certificate. Following successful
authentication, the client and RADIUS server generate key material that is
used for data encryption. WEP is used as a weak encryption method.
