6.4 Configuring 802.1x EAP Settings

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
client to an authentication server on the wired side of the access point. All other packet types are
blocked until the authentication server (typically, a Radius server) verifies the MU's identity.
To configure 802.1x EAP authentication on the access point:
