232; Configuring 802.1X - Xerox B205 User Manual

802.1x
802.1x is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for
port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1x secured network, the printer must be
authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical
network.
Before you begin:
• Ensure that your 802.1x authentication server and authentication switch are available on the
network.
• Determine the supported authentication method.
• Create a user name and password on your authentication server.
Note: This procedure causes the printer to restart and be unavailable over the network for several
minutes.
