Wireless Broadband 11n Router User Guide
25
This security mode is used when a RADIUS server is
connected to the Router. 802.1x, a kind of Port-based
authentication protocol, is an authentication type and
strategy for users. The port can be either a physic
port or logic port (such as VLAN). For wireless LAN
users, a port is just a channel. The final purpose of
802.11x authentication is to check if the port can be
used. If the port is authenticated successfully, you can
open this port which allows all the messages to pass.
If the port isn’t authenticated successfully, you can
keep this port “disable” which just allows 802.1x
authentication protocol message to pass.
