process. Uses standard 802.11 authentication for all others.
• required - Requires 802.1X authentication for all clients.
Disabled
Global Configuration
• When 802.1X is disabled, the access point does not support 802.1X
authentication for any station. After successful 802.11 association, each
client is allowed to access the network.
• When 802.1X is supported, the access point supports 802.1X
authentication only for clients initiating the 802.1X authentication process
(i.e., the access point does NOT initiate 802.1X authentication). For
