The EAP protocol can support multiple authentication mechanisms, such as MD5-challenge, One-Time
Passwords, Generic Token Card, TLS and TTLS etc. So far, ZyXEL Wireless AP only supports MD-5
challenge authentication mechanism, but will support TLS and TTLS in the future. Here we just take
MD-5 challenge authentication mechanism as a example.
Setup Windows XP 802.1x client
Please install Windows XP that support 802.1x MD-5 challenge authentication mechanism. Don't
upgrade to Service Pack 1, it support TLS authentication mechanism by default, instead of MD-5
challenge. ZyXEL Wireless AP will support TLS and TTLS in the future.
