To configure the print server for EAP/802.1X authentication, use the HP Embedded Web Server
through your Web browser. For more information, see

Wireless print server authentication
HP Jetdirect wired/wireless print servers support several wireless authentication methods, which
include the following:
●
WEP–Personal
Authentication is based on a secret, common wired equivalent privacy (WEP)
key that must be configured on each wireless device. A device that does not have the proper
WEP key cannot use the network. Static WEP encryption protocols are used for network
communications.
●
WEP–Enterprise
Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated server
verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several
available protocols.
●
WPA/WPA2–Personal
Uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) standards through a pre-shared key.
A user-specified passphrase must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. Dynamic WPA
encryption protocols are used for network communications to provide enhanced security.
●
WPA/WPA2–Enterprise
Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated
server verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several
available protocols.
IPsec/Firewall
IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A firewall
provides simple control of IP traffic, which is either permitted access or discarded. IPsec, RFC 2401
provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.
The IPsec/Firewall capabilities depend on the HP Jetdirect print server product and the printer/MFP in
which it is installed. The following capabilities are available:
●
Value-featured print servers do
not
support IPsec/Firewall operation.
●
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec can control IP traffic by using
both firewall and IPsec protection.
●
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that do not support IPsec can control IP traffic
using firewall protection only.
To configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, use the HP Embedded Web Server through
your browser. For more information, see
IPsec/Firewall configuration (V.45.xx.nn.xx) on page 105
.
