CLI Commands for WPA Over 802.1X Security – From the VAP interface
configuration mode, use the auth wpa required command to select WPA over
802.1X security. Then set the 802.1X key refresh rates. To view the current security
settings, use the show interface wireless a 0 or show interface wireless g 0
command (not shown in example).
Enterprise AP(config)#interface wireless g

Configuring 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard framework for network access control that uses a central
RADIUS server for user authentication. This control feature prevents unauthorized
access to the network by requiring an 802.1X client application to submit user
credentials for authentication. The 802.1X standard uses the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) to pass user credentials (either digital certificates,
user names and passwords, or other) from the client to the RADIUS server. Client
authentication is then verified on the RADIUS server before the access point grants
client access to the network.
The 802.1X EAP packets are also used to pass dynamic unicast session keys and
static broadcast keys to wireless clients. Session keys are unique to each client and
are used to encrypt and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the
access point. You can also enable broadcast key rotation, so the access point
provides a dynamic broadcast key and changes it at a specified interval.
