802.1X

802.1X is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for
port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1X secured network, the printer must
be authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical
network.
You can enable and configure the printer to be used in an 802.1X secured network.
Before you begin:
• Ensure the 802.1X authentication server and authentication switch are available on the network.
• Determine the supported authentication method.
• Create a user name and password on your authentication server.
• Ensure that the printer can be offline for several minutes. Changing and applying 802.1X settings
causes the printer to restart.
