6.5 Configuring 802.1x EAP Authentication

The IEEE 802.1x standard ties the 802.1x EAP authentication protocol to both wired and wireless LAN
applications.
The EAP process begins when an unauthenticated supplicant (client device) tries to connect with an
authenticator (in this case, the authentication server). The access point passes EAP packets from the
Specify a realm name that is case-sensitive, for example,
MOTOROLA.COM. The realm name is the name domain/realm
name of the KDC Server. A realm name functions similarly to a DNS
domain name. In theory, the realm name is arbitrary. However, in
practice a Kerberos realm is named by uppercasing the DNS
domain name that is associated with hosts in the realm.
Specify a numerical (non-DNS) IP address and port for the primary
Key Distribution Center (KDC). The KDC implements an
Authentication Service and a Ticket Granting Service, whereby an
authorized user is granted a ticket encrypted with the user's
password. The KDC has a copy of every user password.
Optionally, specify a numerical (non-DNS) IP address and port for a
backup KDC. Backup KDCs are referred to as slave servers. The
slave server periodically synchronizes its database with the
primary (or master) KDC.
Optionally, specify a numerical (non-DNS) IP address and port for a
remote KDC. Kerberos implementations can use an administration
server allowing remote manipulation of the Kerberos database.
This administration server usually runs on the KDC.
Specify the ports on which the Primary, Backup and Remote KDCs
reside. The default port number for Kerberos Key Distribution
Centers is Port 88.
