802.1x Port Authentication<br />
6-40<br />
802.1x<br />
This command configures 802.1x as optionally supported or as required for<br />
wireless clients. Use the no form to disable 802.1x support.<br />
Syntax<br />
802.1x <br />
no 802.1x<br />
• supported - Authenticates clients that initiate the 802.1x authentication<br />
process. Uses standard 802.11 authentication for all others.<br />
• required - Requires 802.1x authentication for all clients.<br />
Default Setting<br />
Disabled<br />
Command Mode<br />
Global Configuration<br />
Command Usage<br />
• When 802.1x is disabled, the access point does not support 802.1x<br />
authentication for any station. After successful 802.11 association,<br />
each client is allowed to access the network.<br />
• When 802.1x is supported, the access point supports 802.1x authentication<br />
only for clients initiating the 802.1x authentication process.<br />
The access point does NOT initiate 802.1x authentication. For stations<br />
initiating 802.1x, only those stations successfully authenticated are<br />
allowed to access the network. For those stations not initiating<br />
802.1x, access to the network is allowed after successful 802.11<br />
association.<br />
• When 802.1x is required, the access point enforces 802.1x authentication<br />
for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1x authentication is not<br />
initiated by the station, the access point will initiate authentication.<br />
Only those stations successfully authenticated with 802.1x are<br />
allowed to access the network.<br />
• 802.1x does not apply to the Ethernet interface.<br />
