ONFIGURING
On networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to the
network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication
information that the AP can supply to the authenticator.
To configure the UAP 802.1X supplicant user name and password by using the Web interface, click the Authentication tab
and configure the fields shown in
Field Description

Username Enter the MD5 user name for the AP to use when responding to requests from an 802.1X
authenticator. The user name can be 1 to 64 characters in length. ASCII printable characters are
allowed, which includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special
symbols such as @ and #.

happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when
WLAN traffic is low.
