Configuring 802.1X AP Authentication

If radios are shut down on an already-authenticated access point, you will only
be able to reconfigure the access point using a wired ethernet connection or
the console port.
When a VLAN with tagged management is used together with AP authentica-
tion on the Access Point 530, do not configure the switch authenticator with
an "auth-vid" or with a RADIUS assigned VLAN. Using either of these config-
urations will place the switch authentication port in an untagged state that
will take precedence over any statically defined VLAN tagging on the port. If
this occurs, management traffic will not be sent from the port after authenti-
cation.
