You are required to enter the name of the value to be added as well as its value. Values can only be added to
attributes that are of integer type.
Delete Attribute Value
Values that have been added to a vendor-specific attribute can be deleted using the Delete Value
button.
Attribute values with a lock symbol ( ) next to their name are standard RADIUS dictionary entries and
cannot be deleted.
EAP and 802.1X Authentication
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) supports multiple types of authentication methods,
including digital certificates, smart cards, and passwords. This authentication protocol is the basis for the
IEEE 802.1X standard, which provides port-based network access control for both wired and wireless
networks.
Amigopod OS 2.1 and later supports EAP and 802.1X authentication. This authentication method requires
EAP messages to be encapsulated inside RADIUS packets. The RADIUS server must also be configured
with the appropriate settings for the EAP types that will be used.
To view or modify a RADIUS server’s EAP configuration, go to RADIUS > Authentication > EAP &
802.1X . The Extensible Authentication Protocol page opens, and includes command links for server
configuration and certificate management.
