Command Usage
• When 802.1X is disabled, the access point does not support 802.1X
authentication for any station. After successful 802.11 association, each
client is allowed to access the network.
• When 802.1X is supported, the access point supports 802.1X
authentication only for clients initiating the 802.1X authentication process
(i.e., the access point does NOT initiate 802.1X authentication). For
stations initiating 802.1X, only those stations successfully authenticated
are allowed to access the network. For those stations not initiating
802.1X, access to the network is allowed after successful 802.11
association.
