Important Points to Remember

• FTOS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and
MS-CHAPv2 with PEAP.
• All platforms support only RADIUS as the authentication server.
• If the primary RADIUS server becomes unresponsive, the authenticator begins using a secondary
RADIUS server, if configured.
