Ieee 802.1X - D-Link DCS-7110 User Manual

Configuration
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x which is a port-based network access control. The network devices and RADIUS
server must support 802.1x.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients)
attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled.
If authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to
facilitate communication.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:
1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a
digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i.e., MIS of your company) which can be
validated by a RADIUS server.
2. Connect the camera to a computer outside of the protected LAN. Open the web-based
configuration utility of the camera. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method.
In the following boxes, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload the
related certificate(s).
3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to
an 802.1x-enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.
