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.
• When 802.1x is required, the access point enforces 802.1x authentication
for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1x authentication is not initiated by
the station, the access point will initiate authentication. Only those stations
successfully authenticated with 802.1x are allowed to access the network.
• 802.1x does not apply to the 10/100Base-TX port.
