You can enable 802.1X as optionally supported or as required to enhance
the security of the wireless network. (Default: Disable)

•

Disable: The access point does not support 802.1X authentication
for any wireless client. After successful wireless association with the
access point, each client is allowed to access the network.

•

Supported: The access point supports 802.1X authentication only for
clients initiating the 802.1X authentication process (that is, the access
point does not initiate 802.1X authentication). For clients initiating
802.1X, only those successfully authenticated are allowed to access the
network. For those clients not initiating 802.1X, access to the network
is allowed after successful wireless association with the access point.
The 802.1X supported mode allows access for clients not using WPA or
WPA2 security.

•

Required: The access point enforces 802.1X authentication for all
associated wireless clients. If 802.1X authentication is not initiated by
a client, the access point initiates authentication. Only those clients
successfully authenticated with 802.1X are allowed to access the
network.

Note: If 802.1X is enabled on the access point, then RADIUS setup
must be completed (For further information, see

"RADIUS" (page

50)

).

When 802.1X is enabled, the broadcast and session key rotation
intervals can also be configured.

•

Broadcast Key Refresh Rate: Sets the interval at which the broadcast
keys are refreshed for stations using 802.1X dynamic keying. (Range:
0-1 440 minutes; Default: 0 means disabled)

•

Session Key Refresh Rate: The interval at which the access point
refreshes unicast session keys for associated clients. (Range: 0-1 440
minutes; Default: 0 means disabled)

•

802.1X Reauthentication Refresh Rate: The time period after which a
connected client must be reauthenticated. During the reauthentication
process of verifying the client credentials on the RADIUS server, the
client remains connected the network. Only if reauthentication fails is
network access blocked. (Range: 0-65 535 seconds; Default: 0 means
disabled)
