802.1X Authentication
The multifunction device supports 802.1X authentication based on the Extensible Application Protocol
(EAP). 802.1X can be enabled for devices connected through both wired and wireless Ethernet networks.
As described here, the 802.1X configuration is used to authenticate the multifunction device, rather than
individual users. After the device has been authenticated, it will be accessible to users on the network.
The administrator can configure the machine to use one EAP type. EAP types currently supported on the
device are:
•
EAP-MD5
•
PEAPv0/EAP-MS-CHAPv2
•
EAP-MS-CHAPv2
Information Checklist
1.
Create a user name and password on your authentication server which will be used to authenticate the
Xerox device.
2.
Ensure your 802.1X authentication server and authentication switch are available on the network.
