6.3.6 802.1X Authentication
This security mode is used when a RADIUS server is connected to the device. 802.1x, a kind
of Port-based authentication protocol, is an authentication type and strategy for users. The
port can be either a physical 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, allowing all data to pass.
If the port is not authenticated successfully, you can keep this port “disabled” which allows
only 802.1x authentication protocol message to pass. Select “802.1x” from the drop-down
menu to open the following window:
WEP: Click “Enable/Disable” to enable or disable the WEP algorithm.
Radius IP Address: Enter the IP address of the Radius server.
Radius Port: Enter the authentication port of the Radius server. The default is 1812.
Shared Key: Enter the shared key for authentication server with 8~63 ASCII characters.
Session Timeout: The authentication interval period between AP and authentication server.
The default is 3600s.
NOTE:
To improve security, do not use those passwords, which can be found
in a dictionary or are easy to guess! Wireless clients will remember the
WEP key, so you only have to input the WEP key on wireless clients
once, and it is worth to use complicated WEP key to improve security.
