3.1.3.5 Configuring Secure 802.1x Security Settings

security for data transmitted over the wireless network. Secure 802.1x uses (EAP) as an authentication
mechanism between devices that is achieved through the exchange and verification of certificates.
A client should not be able to access the network if not authenticated. Refer to the system administrator for
information on configuring a server for Secure 8021.x support. For information on configuring 802.1x, see
Appendix D, Secure 802.1x Security .
