802.1x
There are three essential components to the 802.1x infrastructure: (1) Supplicant, (2) Authenticator and (3)
Server. The Router serves as an Authenticator, and the EAP methods used must be supported by the backend
Radius Server. The 802.1x security supports both MD5 and TLS Extensive Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Please follow the steps below to configure 802.1x security.
1. Enable 802.1x security by selecting "Enable".
2. Select the Encryption Key Length Size ranging from 64 to 256 Bits that you would like to use.
Select the Lifetime of the Encryption Key from 5 Minutes to 1 Day. As soon as the lifetime of the Encryption
Key is over, the Encryption Key will be renewed by the Radius server.
3. Enter the IP address of and the Port used by the Primary Radius Server
Enter the Shared Secret, which is used by the Radius Server.
4. Enter the IP address of, Port and Shared Secret used by the Secondary Radius Server.
Click "Help" to get interpretation for Encryption Key and Radius Server
5. Click "Apply" button for the 802.1x settings to take effect after Access Point reboots itself.
Note! As soon as 802.1x security is enabled, all the wireless client stations that are connected to the Router
currently will be disconnected. The wireless clients must be configured manually to authenticate themselves
with the Radius server to be reconnected.
