The Authentication window on the Security tab enables 802.1x to be configured
for the access point.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
802.1x Setup. You can enable 802.1x as optionally supported or as required
to enhance the security of the wireless network. When 802.1x is enabled, the
broadcast and session key rotation intervals can also be configured.
■ Disable: The access point does not support 802.1x authentication for any
wireless client. After successful wireless association with the access
point, each client is allowed to access the network.
Supported: The access point supports 802.1x authentication only for
■
clients initiating the 802.1x authentication process (the access point does
not initiate 802.1x authentication). For clients initiating 802.1x, only those
successfully authenticated are allowed to access the network. For those
clients not initiating 802.1x, access to the network is allowed after
successful wireless association with the access point.
■ Required: The access point enforces 802.1x authentication for all asso-
ciated wireless clients. If 802.1x authentication is not initiated by a client,
the access point will initiate authentication. Only those clients success-
fully authenticated with 802.1x are allowed to access the network.
Broadcast Key Refresh Rate: Sets the interval at which the broadcast
■
keys are refreshed for stations using 802.1x dynamic keying. (Range: 0 -
1440 minutes; Default: 0 = disabled)
■ Session Key Refresh Rate: The interval at which the access point
refreshes unicast session keys for associated clients. (Range: 0 - 1440
minutes; Default: 0 = disabled)
802.1x Reauthentication Refresh Rate: The time period after which a
■
connected client must be re-authenticated. During the re-authentication
process of verifying the client credentials on the RADIUS server, the client
remains connected the network. Only if re-authentication fails is network
access blocked. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 0 = Disabled)
