3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting
it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.
►
The authentication process for 802.1x:
1. The
Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera
(the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).
2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the
authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the
switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and
returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certificate to the
Network Camera.
4. Assuming
all certificates are validated,
the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to
authorized and
is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-configured port.
