Web: Configuring IEEE 802.1x

The access point supports IEEE 802.1x (802.1x) access control for wireless
clients. This control feature prevents unauthorized access to the network by
requiring an 802.1x client application to submit user credentials for authenti-
cation. Client authentication is then verified by a RADIUS server using Exten-
sible Authentication Protocol (EAP) before the access point grants a client
access to the network.
The 802.1x access control feature requires a RADIUS authentication server to
be configured and available in the wired network. Be sure that the server's
details are configured in the RADIUS window.
The access point also uses the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol Over
LANs (EAPOL) packets to pass dynamic unicast session keys and static
broadcast keys to wireless clients. Session keys are unique to each client and
are used to authenticate a client connection, and correlate traffic passing
between a specific client and the access point. You can also enable broadcast
key rotation, so the access point provides a dynamic broadcast key and
changes it at a specified interval.
